Purchasing and eating food that is grown locally helps the environment AND the economy. Goods that are grown in other states or countries lose nutrients as they travel. When you eat food that is grown nearby, you are supplying your body with the healthier choice. Not only does eating locally benefit your body, but it benefits the economy. When you are buying from local farmers, the money is going right to your community. Local farmers can have a chance to stand up to big businesses if you give them your support.
