Forests and carbon capture

It also helps to support smaller, local, often family-owned farms, which often also tend to less pesticides and so on, so you win in multiple ways. Not least of which is how good the food on your table ends up being, since big agro tends to use cultivars that are optimized for looks and shelf life rather than taste and texture. This tends to be especially noticeable in garlic, tomatoes, and bell peppers, from my experience, which can make the sauce on spaghetti and meatballs night an eye-popping experience the first time you try making it from farmers' market produce.
