Why Buy Locally Grown? What Are The Benefits?

Buying local is catching on. More businesses are supporting farmers in their communities. More people are seeking TRUE FRESHNESS. It’s the reason why farmers markets and 100 mile restaurants are booming over the last few years. People love the idea of knowing where their products are coming from and supporting local businesses/producers. But what are the benefits of buying locally?

Reduce Your Food Travel Distance

One of the most important ways buying locally helps the environment is by reducing your "food miles". By shopping locally, you are purchasing goods produced in your local community. Conversely, when you shop at some grocery stores, research has shown a typical Aussie grocery basket may have travelled 70,000km (Yep that's nearly two times around the world). By cutting down on these kilometres, you are reducing the environmental impact of your food. Local food doesn’t create large carbon footprints through overseas plane travel or long truck trips. This cuts down on fuel consumption and air pollution. There isn’t a need for shipping facilities, packing facilities or refrigeration when you purchase from farmers /markets / local food delivery vendors in your community.

More Accessible

Local businesses are able to operate in their local communities. It’s easy for them to bring their products to their consumers because their consumers are nearby. Take a farmers market (or Fresh Fruit Fast) for example - consumers are able to easily access lots of local homegrown produce without leaving their own community. Shoppers are able to easily commute, walk or bike to their local market to shop the stalls or simply sit at home and order to the door through a delivery site.

Fresher Produce

By buying and eating local, consumers are able to enjoy produce that is fresh and nutritious. Many local producers pride themselves on keeping their product organic, hormone free and pesticide free. Not only is this beneficial to the consumer, it’s also beneficial to the environment. Keeping harmful toxins, like pesticides, out of the air helps to improve crops and air quality. In addition, because the produce is fresh and brought directly from farm to table, there is less waste. Many large retailers have significant food waste due to items going bad before they are bought or simply rejecting them for minor cosmetic defects. On a smaller scale with a more direct farm to table approach, this food waste is cut down significantly.

Local Workforce

Lastly, an added benefit of buying locally is supporting the local workforce. For example, if you buy your groceries at the local farmers market, you’re helping to keep local growers, creators and farmers in their jobs. You’re also creating an opportunity for other local jobs such as the team who organises the farmers market, the team that sets up the stalls, the team that cleans up at the end of the day, etc. All of these local businesses with local workers are in place because customers are demanding local goods. Without that demand, these local businesses may not exist. Many of the employees would have to seek work elsewhere, outside of locally owned businesses.
