- Fruits and vegetables are fresher which means they'll also be more nutrient dense and flavourful
- Seasonal produce is cheaper as it hasn't had to travel a long way to get to us
- Scarcity drives up prices so buying food that's in season rather than imported also reduces costs
- Buying seasonally reduces energy, transportation and CO2 emissions that would otherwise be expended on alternatives
- Better for our bodies as we connect with nature's seasons through our plates
- Supports local businesses and helps reduce waste
