why is eating local food instead of food produced elsewhere often helpful to
the environment?

a. the food is more expensive.

b. the food is less expensive.

c. the food travels more miles.

d. the food travels fewer miles.

Explanation:

Eating local food means it doesn't have to be transported long distances. Transporting food over fewer miles reduces carbon emissions from transportation, which is good for the environment. Options A and B are about cost, not environmental impact. Option C is incorrect as local food travels fewer, not more, miles.

Answer:

D. The food travels fewer miles.
