Answer:

Sustainability refers to activities that can continue without depleting nonrenewable resources. By locally producing food, shipping costs are reduced. Shipping costs involve the use of fuel (gasoline and diesel), materials (boxes and plastic bags), equipment (machinery and trucks), etc. Many of these costs require the use of nonrenewable resources, e.g. oil by-products and metals, so reducing their use helps the environment.

Economically speaking, local food production helps to lower food costs, local farmers are benefited and more money stays in the local economy. Globalization shrunk the world, so producing food locally may apply to a region surrounding a city or a whole country, and the large the net exports (exports - imports) of a region or country, the better.

So, the economy tends towards the market and not to the command.

Firms may invest in fewer projects as a result of A. an increase in interest rates that increase economic growth. B. an increase
kupik [55]

Answer: B. an increase in interest rates that decrease economic growth.

If interest rates were to rise in an Economy, that would mean that the cost of borrowing just rose. The rise in the Cost of Borrowing reduces consumer spending as well as business investment. This will therefore lead to a lower Aggregate demand. A lower AD in the Economy usually leads to a decrease in economic growth.

Now, if such things were to happen, a firm may definitely invest in fewer projects because first off it will be more expensive for them to borrow and invest because of the high rates. They will also be discouraged because of the Decrease in economic growth as the chances of their projects doing well will be drop in a depreciating economy.
