Why is Sustainable Farming beneficial?
While we can talk about the fact Sustainable Farming is so helpful, it is crucial to understand why. There must be multiple reasons as to why local farming is more beneficial than transporting foods from around the world. Here are some of the main reasons why Sustainable Foods would be more helpful, according to the Sustainable Food Laboratory:
2. Falling crop prices put stress on farms and farmers. Farms sustain and depend on their crops selling for certain prices throughout the year. If a crop price decreases, the farmer was depending on that sale, so if consumers stop purchasing crops, the farm will most likely run out of business or be forced to sell to a bigger company who does not rely so much on the money. This is awful! We should be supporting our local farms and farmers, and by purchasing their crops at places like the Saturday Market to enhance their business, not force them to close down. Due to this stress, millions of farmers and farm workers live in poverty.
In an attempt to fix these three problems, Sustainable Food Laboratory is a collaboration of nonprofit businesses which will provide solutions to our nation's crises so that healthy and sustainable foods will become the norm.
