THE BENEFITS OF EATING LOCAL FOODS

The Need For Local Food

The call for people to support local farmers has continued to intensify especially this time than ever. It is a call for people to start farming and eating local foods.

This is because local foods have shown their strengths and to a very reasonable extent, sustained the society than industrial food. Such foods like apples, barley, corn, and honey can be grown domestically and made to serve the interest of local users. This is in line with meeting food sufficiency.

How To Achieve Success In Farm Work

To start any venture is usually difficult but one has to kill the fear factor if progress must be recorded. Farming can happen even at the unthinkable places. It could be small lawn and highway garden.  In this way, spaces around houses in the city could be filled with vegetables, not turf. Again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with flowers and beauty, but vegetables, grapes and apple trees are pretty too. The point is that the later could help combat hunger and be more helpful to the food industry.

Have you thought of this: If every kitchen in America had chickens attached to it to eat all of the scraps, no egg industry would be necessary. The truth is, anybody can keep a couple of chickens. They are certainly no dirtier than parakeets, much less noisy, and far more productive and useful.

 

Building Communities Through Farming

No culture has ever survived if it couldn't feed itself. The strongest communities are the ones that feed themselves. In all intents and purposes, local food systems are the backbone of any sensible food model. They have stood the test of time because they make sense if measured for energy, motion and logistics. This blip known as the "petroleum age" or the "cheap energy age" doesn't change the rules that have made local food production the foundation of all secure villages.

Final Comments

 Nobody or society has ever achieved any meaningful thing without taking a decisive step. This is what farmers must bear in mind that nothing good comes easily. You have to risk everything before you started gaining. Innovation always requires risk. You have to remove fear and take the necessary risk. Everyone is hence encouraged to help to make the society a food sufficient one.
