Nowadays, locally­grown food is on the rise, and is important to know why this trend (趋势) in farming matters.

Hawaii is a pretty faraway place. Hawaiians bring in about 85 percent of (they) food.

Steven Chiang, the director of the Agribusiness Incubator Program at the University of Hawaii, pointed out that in Hawaii, the cost of labor (劳动力) is high for people who might want (farm) the land. Since many different groups and individuals (个人) own small pieces of land, getting access to farmland (be) also difficult.

However, Chiang added, "There are many (benefit) to growing food locally on our islands and elsewhere. For one, we can hold onto the types of food we like. Food in our soil will have the chance to become (full) grown. Also plants can reduce the carbon dioxide in the air, will benefit our environment. Having local food helps make people value their farmland. So areas of land that might (use) for other things, like new apartment or office buildings, can be protected."

So what can you do？You can do your part by supporting and (buy) locally­grown food. You can even grow your own food­either in a container in your kitchen in your backyard!
