Nothing wrong with needing to transport but the problem is that globalisation has made it economically more viable to sell globally than locally. Produce should first be sourced locally then globally when they really need it.

global (aka long-distance) trade started around 3000 BC. it got a boom in 1815 due to mechanisation.

As I've said elsewhere, I have no issue with global trade. What I have an issue with is our over-reliance on global trade.
