Asked by Aaron

why does buying food that is grown in your local area help prevent loss of biodiversity?
Answered by Damon
When you grow lettuce on a gigantic farm to ship all over the country, you grow one kind that is chosen to last a long time in the ice box and ship well. It is all the same everywhere.

When a few small farmers grow lots of different kinds of lettuce that their different local customers like for different reasons, you have lots of different kinds of lettuce.
