Yeah it would be heaps better for everyone if people weren't so reliant on a plastic wrap world... It's crazy the cost for a piece of food to be consumed.
There's...
Cost of fertilizer, pesticide, water, harvesting
Cost of storage (refrigerating)
Cost of transport to market
Cost of transport from market to storehouse
Cost of storage (refrigerating)
Cost of transport from storehouse to shop
Cost of storage (refrigerating)
Cost of Transport from shop to home
If people started collective farming in areas set aside within the suburbs... people could save heaps on the cost of food and do the environment some good with less greenhouse emissions from transporting goods back and forth and storage. Do we really need food imported from overseas, then left in a storehouse refrigerated for 6 months while the product on the shelf sells?
Ridiculous if you ask me...
