A locavore is a person who primarily eats food that is locally grown or produced, typically within a radius of 100 miles. The term « locavore » combines the words « local » and « vore, » meaning eater. Locavores choose to eat locally for various reasons, including supporting local farmers and businesses, reducing the environmental impact of transportation, and promoting food security in their communities. They often prioritize fresh, seasonal, and organic food options. Some locavores may even grow their own food or participate in community-supported agriculture programs to directly access local produce.
