Local food

The topic of “Local food” often causes a great deal of discussion. Every time there are more people that think we must come back to small-scale farming, but at the same time detractors think that it would be impossible to supply every one with locally grown food.

A positive aspect is that local food could have an important effect on local economies, and could be an income source in rural areas. In addition, Another of the advantages is that local food is near of the consumers and doesn’t travel by air or do long road journeys, so food is more fresh and conserves more vitamins and other nutrients. People that support this cause says that the flavor is better too, and some of them even say that eat this food improves the health.

On the other hand, not all foods can be grown in every place, so there are a lot products which must be imported from others countries. Another negative aspect is that nowadays most people want to have a huge choice of products all year around, and local food is limited to season. Furthermore, in the big cities people usually buy at supermarkets and only some of them have local food.

In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages about the local food movement. In my opinion, getting a balance between local and imported food would be beneficial for the most.

A very well written and well balanced argument.
