23年高考英语外刊阅读理解训练——自己种植食物
——改编自Grow your own food
Growing your own food has become increasingly popular in recent years, and it's not hard to understand why. With mass-produced food often travelling far before it ends up on our plates, growing our own produce provides a sustainable alternative with many benefits.
One way to grow your own food is through allotments - small plots of land where people can grow fruits and vegetables. Allotments are typically British and provide individuals without gardens the opportunity to contribute to their daily intake of fruit and veggies. Although surely a challenging process, once you've worked the soil and eliminated pests, locally grown fresh food tastes better and is also used in many healthy diets around the world.
The Coronavirus pandemic lockdown has even provided increased interest in allotments as more individuals explore self-sufficiency amid heightened awareness of the vulnerability in large food systems. For those living in apartments or without gardens, pot gardening could be a feasible solution. An example of how successful such an endeavor can be is Sheila Brand’s Rotterdam apartment setup where she grows tomatoes and aubergines and harvests raspberries. Watching new life sprout from the plant everyday fills her with joy.
Gardener Mark Ridsdill-Smith points out that growing produce at home from a balcony or even a window ledge can improve physical and emotional well-being, but individuals can also expect to grow abundant amounts of produce, further reducing reliance on store-bought food.
Ultimately, whether it's through allotments or potted plants, home-grown produce is eco-friendly, deliciously healthy, and most important of all – rewarding!
