Question

Selling food locally increases sustainable use of the land because crops can be rotated more easily. What is another benefit of this practice?

A. There is less CO2 emitted from transportation

B. Foods take longer to spoil

C. Farmers get paid less

D. More packaging is needed for transportation

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

There is less CO2 emitted from transportation

Answer 2

A. Less CO2 emitted from transportation

Step-by-step explanation:

The other answer options don't make as much sense, since it would basically be from farm to table, answers B and D don't make sense. As for C, farmers would probably end up making more and if not the same, because they'd be able to directly sell a higher percentage of their yieldings from the crop because little to no transportation is required (less bruised or damaged goods) and the store or supermarket they sell it in wouldn't be taking a percentage of their earnings.
