Locavore movement

The Locavore movement encourages people to eat foods produced locally, typically within their region or a mile radius. The goal is to support local farmers, reduce the environmental impact of long-distance transportation, and enjoy fresher, seasonal produce. Locavores believe that eating locally helps strengthen community economies, ensures food freshness, and minimizes fossil fuel use. This movement often promotes buying directly from farmers’ markets, farm shops, or community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, fostering a closer connection between consumers and their food sources while promoting sustainable practices.
