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

The main advantage is that locally sourced foods contain higher levels of nutrients and antioxidants, as they haven't had to travel far from their source. Additionally, locally sourced foods often have more flavor than mass-produced food items due to the shorter distance they traveled. Furthermore, locally sourced foods can be fresher and tastier since they don't sit in storage for long periods of time before being sold. Finally, buying local supports your community's economy by keeping money within your area instead of sending it out of town.
