Why is it good to privilege the local products while shopping?
The posy of Pannon Local Product Cluster is “Quality, Tradition, Lasting Values”. These 3 words explains what are the main reasons to buy local produced food and handcrafted items.
Why is the local product good?
By buying local products we all help our own region’s sustainability. With every coin we spend we aid the local economy to stand still, we help protecting workplaces or we are creating new ones indirectly. The profit produced locally will indicate local development. When we buy the main types of foods locally we can lower the environmental impact by not using industrial transporting and packaging. To tell it in today’s fashionable words: Our biological footstep will be smaller. Producing local products are made in low quantities with traditional, environment-close techniques, so they harm the nature less.
Next to the environmental and economic effects we can protect our health easier as well. Let’s buy seasonal products! Locally produced vegetables and fruits contain less preservative and ripen longer because of the lack of transportation in opposition with the species that come from overseas. These fruits are fresher, delicious and contain much more vitamins and minerals than the imported ones. It is important to our company to give our customers always the vegetables and fruits of the current season because these can be used the most efficiently. The components of these local products can easily be checked so “we know what we eat”. By preferring the land-specific types we support the protection of biological colorfulness and also the continuation of living traditions.
