Task 7. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

Learning to Love Locally Grown Food
Cooking shows on TV are usually all about exotic foods. Thanks to globalization, people everywhere are
introducing their taste buds to dishes from every corner of the world. At the same time, other people are
discovering that food from their area is the best kept secret. In the past few years, this movement of
purchasing local produce keeps picking up steam because it offers a lot of benefits.
For starters, local food is often tastier because it is fresher. Goods that are imported from abroad must be
flown or shipped in from far away, so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey. A
simple way to test this is to sample a banana from overseas versus one that was grown locally and
compare the tastes. Imported goods must also be washed and packaged in plastic or other containers so
they can survive the journey. These materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline
during the shipping process. Food safety is another reason why people are choosing local produce.
Today’s laws regarding foods vary from country to country. This causes confusion and makes it difficult
to detect if any harmful pesticides were used. When you know the local farmer who grows your food and
the fields that are used to produce it, the chances of it being contaminated are greatly reduced. Buying
local foods can also have beneficial impact on the environment. By supporting local growers, consumers
can maintain green space and farmland in their communities.
Buying locally also helps to build the local community. If farmers can sell directly to consumers instead
of a middleman, they will earn more money for their families. Additional profits also enable farmers to
better care for their soil and keep quality standards high. In the end, it is a win-win situation for both parties.
If you are interested in incorporating more local foods into your diet, you can start by attending a farmers’
market in your area. This is an open market where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, and meat directly to the
public. If you have any questions about the production process or quality of these goods, you can ask the
farmers directly. Once you experience the freshness of local foods for yourself, it might be tough to go back to the supermarket.
