As everyone knows our country is famous as agricultural nation.Almost 2/3 population of our country is dependent on agriculture for maintain their livelihood.Food produced by farmer travels a lot to each and every corner of our country to provide variety of foods to consumer.If people start eating only locally produced food in large extent it has more advantages than the disadvantages.
One major advantage of consuming locally produced food is its positive impact on economy such as,if people start eating food which is produced by local farmers it will surely helps that farmers to increase their income.Furthermore , it will helps to survive the smaller business and it will definitely support more job creations and stability in economy.Additionally we can say that ,it will make a farmer more self-sufficient.
Another significant advantage is the environmental benifits of consuming local food. If people choose eating local foods then there is no need to transport food from one corner to another area of our country.By that we can save our fuel,and it will lead to less pollution of air.Additionally if people start eating and buying local foods then the number of packing the food and preservative used in that will surely decrease.For example , we can say that when vegetables and fruits are produced locally ,the chemicals and preservatives are very less than other.
There are some disadvantages are also there such as, people usually do not have variety of options in locally produced food.The second point is price of that food is high due to less variety and less consumers.It have higher cost of labours also.However,subsidies given by government and improved agriculture techniques will can reduce cost and increased availability.
