These days, food days, food travels long distances before reaching consumers, and it is therefore believed that consuming locally grown food would bring about a number of economic and environmental benefits. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages?

Nowadays, it is true that packed foods travel long distances before being consumed by consumers. There are more advantages if the

food

can be grown locally

instead

of imported from outside the

country

which leads to a variety of beneficial traits

such

as economic and environmental benefits. I strongly believe that growing

food

locally would bring more opportunities to the local market and nature. On the one hand, locally grown

food

uses quite a few pesticides to recover the plants from various diseases spread across the

country

. These diseases are more diverse and affect to entire plant, they are only resolved by using chemical substances spraying around the plant.

However

, the federal government regularly maintains standard procedures to evaluate the pesticides that are not harmful to the soil and air.

For instance

, the government of Sri Lanka maintain agricultural research and development centres distributed around the

country

. Meantime,

this

department constantly validates and ensures plant quality and reduces the amount of insect killer usage during the entire life span of the

food

.

Furthermore

, the trade-in of foods and vegetables has been affected by a significant reduction in the

country

's fund perspective, which leads to economic challenges and impact

due to

the reservation of dollar funds and will cause other essentials to be neglected.

On the other hand

, there are controversial about growing plants that could not suit the appropriate climate in the

country

. In

this

scenario, more and more observations are performed to grow them in a greenhouse environment, and it is beneficial to mitigate different kinds of bacterial infections

as well as

diseases, where spread in a variety of circumstances in natural nature.

Nonetheless

, it could transform the

country

with rare

food

available without spending a hefty amount of dollars to bring it into the

country

. In conclusion, locally grown

food

will be ideal for emerging countries where fewer resources in nature and a financial decline in strength of funds rather than importing from other destinations.

This

could result dramatically in the economy as far as lowering the other important factors that are required to build the

country

's economy.
