Today much of the food people eat gets transported from farms that are thousands of miles away. Some people believe it would be better for the environment and the economy if people only consumed food produced by local farmers. Would the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

These days, technology has been developing fastly, so

people

in various regions have access to a range of foodstuffs, which are generated from far farmlands and are transported by vehicles;

however

, a group of populations think that it is better that

people

use just their own

foods

that are produced by a local farmer to keep the environment and the

economy

.

While

using local ingredients has several demerits, I still believe that cannot overshadow the benefits. On the one hand, the merits of using local

foods

are varied.

Firstly

, when

people

use the foodstuff

that is

produced in local agriculture, they do not pay the extra money which is spent on transportation;

besides

, the local farmer can sell all the items; in fact,

this

is a beneficial situation for not only clients but

also

framers and has a positive effect on the

economy

.

Secondly

, if the number of transportations that carry

foods

from other areas is reduced, the amount of air pollution the result of the gas

that is

emitted from the transport system declines and has a good impact on the environment.

On the other hand

, using local meals has various drawbacks. On the one side, all countries have several products inasmuch as their climate is really cold or very hot;

consequently

, the community of these countries cannot use a range of the vitamins that the body needs which impacts their health. On the other side, the exporting of agricultural elements to other districts has a lot of influence on the

economy

of the farmlands that are sent things;

therefore

, when

people

from other regions do not buy their goods, a number of

foods

will be spoiled, and there lose their income.

To conclude

, the fact that using local

foods

has some good points for the

economy

of the

people

and the environment;

nevertheless

, they cannot eclipse the bad points because healthy and unspoiling agricultural staff are really crucial.
