according to spriggs, buying local matters because
it is one way that the united states can set an example for global environmentalism.
it leads to healthier eating habits.
it will create more jobs in the food transportation sector.
the united states should not rely on other countries for commodities.

Explanation:

Based on the arguments of scholar Spriggs regarding local food systems, purchasing local food reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation, positioning the U.S. as a model for global environmental sustainability efforts. The other options do not align with his core reasoning: local food does not inherently guarantee healthier habits, it reduces (not increases) food transportation jobs, and self-reliance on commodities is not his central focus.

Answer:

A. it is one way that the United States can set an example for global environmentalism.
