Reflection on Food Miles

Food has many different conditions that can raise how mush it takes to make them. First you need animals or plants to make the food out of. Second you need to treat them and feed them well so you can get their meat as an adult. Third you have to package them and check them for any diseases so that customers won't get sick. Finally they have to be taken to the area that they will be given out and sold to. All of these increase how much food miles something has. Some have more than others just based on rarity or how far away it comes from. This can actually be very bad if the food miles get too high on a product.

This is why it is best to have foods that come from very near. The closer they come from the less recourses we need just to transport them to new areas without much problem. We wouldn't need as much fossil fuels and vehicles to move them around. With that the air would be cleaner and we would be able to have a cleaner planet in the process. We don't want to waste resources now either since we may run out of them sooner than later. We need to bring food miles down so that we can be able to have a better planet in the process.
