THE LOCAL MOVEMENT
The Local Movement is something that started about ten years ago and is encouraging people to buy local. This movement is mainly pertaining to food,
but some have taken it much further than that. There are a few reasons that we
should buy local.
*Better quality Products. The local movement has shown that food grown locally is of a better quality and is fresher.
* The health benefits from locally grown foods are good as well. These are benefits that come from locally grown foods not having preservatives and less chemicals used on them. Also it has been shown that locally grown foods that a
eaten and cooked fresh have a higher nutritional value.
*The economic benefit for the local economy is something to keep in mind as well. The local movement is something that is keeping small local farms and businesses running.
