Might be more expensive for those living in the city, but there are also tons of other evidence that current monoculture farming is terrible for the soil and the nature. Not to mention that the most sugar is in the processed foods.
And where I live actually there are small farms, even not registered, that sell over Facebook. They sell naturally cured meats, no preservatives, no additives, home made diary products, jars of canned foods, etc. that actually cost less than the dead food that is sold in the stores.
My father is going strong into regenerative agriculture, producing we are canning our own food for the winter and making our own sauerkraut.
We don’t raise animals, yet…
That is not more expensive than going and buying food from the other side of the world just for the fancy label super food or whatnot.
