The Benefits of Local Farming

A growing consensus that eating locally grown stuff isn't always the best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The transportation of these goods contributes significantly less to the emissions calculation than the factor of how the produce itself is grown. Locally grown stuff in eco conscious farms is obviously going to be the ideal since you limit the emissions in production and transportation. But if you have to choose one variable, it might be best to focus on the production instead of the transport.
