Sustainable vegetables are often grown organically using local varieties that require fewer local resources such as irrigation. Sustainable vegetables are those that are locally sourced, consumed during their growing season, diverse, and grown organically. A sustainable garden also practices the reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink.

When you plant eco-friendly veggies, you are reducing water waste, using less energy, minimizing or eliminating fertilizer use, diversifying the ecosystem, and more.
