Food miles:
food miles are the distance between the place the food comes from and gets to us.
The longer the food miles the worst due to pollution and global warming, even
thought it has doubts it also has benefits
problems:
the problem is that by transporting foods to different countries , its uses gas which
leads on to pollution and global warming . If we stopped doing fairtrade and foodmiles
countries will end up in the worst of conditions and even starve to death. Food miles
which are big makes food less fresh and can even spoil the condition of the food.
Another reason is that farmers rely on their farming for money but if there is a
drought then they would gointo poverty this may lead to death
benefits:
Food miles benifits the farmers by letting them give their foods to supermarkets and
getting money back so farmers can affordheating, electricity and education for their
kids. Another benifit is that you can buy foods such as strawberries and cherrries all
year long instead of buying fruits in just one season. There are many benefits
including the fact farmer use man to harvest crops not electricty which stops
the farmers from getting polluted.
There is no good to food miles because every benefit leads to a problem. Therefor, the countries will end up with only some types of food(from all the polution and green house gases).
