> People can go buy a cheaper item that was shipped around the world 3 times before landing on supermarket shelves. This is a very good argument for higher carbon taxes -- they would make the shipped item more expensive. And if transported goods are much cheaper than locally produced even after paying a transportation cost including taxes, then maybe it's time for some producers to try something else. Or to convince the government that there's a value in producing food in that specific area and get more subsidies.
