Local food

Local food is food that is grown close to where you live. This means that the food doesn’t have to travel very far to get to your plate! Eating local food is good for you and for the environment. It’s healthier because it’s fresher and hasn’t had to travel a long way. It’s also better for the planet – because when food travels far, it uses up more resources like fuel. So when you eat local, it helps the air and water be cleaner. Plus, buying local supports the farmers and businesses in your area, so they can keep producing healthy food for everyone.
