Why grow local organic food?
Blogged and Photographed by; Hunter.G and Liam. L
In a “perfect” environmentally friendly community food would be grown locally because it’s better for the environment. We’re trying this for ourselves, to create a garden and grow our own vegetables.
Having local vegetables is better for the environment because:
- No pollution is made while transporting the food
- Local food is healthier because no pesticides or preservatives are used
- Local food is better for the economy because farmers would make full retail price selling their crops to local customers
Between our gardens we are growing radish, swiss chard, cucumbers, carrots, and tomatoes. We are going to give our organic vegetables to people that live near us in our community. This shows that no pollution or economic deficiency is required to grow our own food in a “perfect” community. Our garden is on a small scale, but if we can do this with leaving no footprint, then food in a environmentally friendly community could be completely green, efficient, cheap, healthy, local, and organic.
