I've been hearing a lot about the benefits of eating locally sourced foods. What are the advantages?

The primary advantage of eating locally sourced foods is that it supports local economies and helps keep money in the community. Additionally, eating locally sourced foods can provide fresher, healthier options than those shipped from far away. Eating locally sourced foods also means you're supporting your local farmers who often use sustainable farming practices. Finally, eating locally sourced foods can help reduce environmental impacts such as deforestation and air pollution caused by transportation.
