What is a A locavore is someone who eats food grown or produced locally. They buy from farmers' markets, CSA groups or grow food in their own gardens. Fresh, local products are more nutritious and taste better. Local foods are a more environmentally friendly means of obtaining food, since supermarkets that import their food use more fossil fuels and non-renewable resources. Organic and sustainable food practices also serve to renew the land, restoring fragile eco-systems to a more healthy and balanced existence. |
