          • Definition(s)
            • A locavore is someone who eats food grown or produced locally or within a certain radius such as 50, 100, or 150 miles (240 km). The locavore movement encourages consumers to buy from farmers’ markets or even to produce their own food, with the argument that fresh, local products are more nutritious and taste better. Locally grown food is an environmentally friendly means of obtaining food, since supermarkets that import their food use more fossil fuels and non-renewable resources. Wikipedia

            • The first step to being a locavore is to determine what local means for you. This is an individual decision that should feel comfortable for you and your family. Many locavores start by trying to eat within a 100-mile radius from their homes and then adjust where necessary, sometimes encompassing an area as large as an entire state or region. - JumpStart Productions by
            • More and more people are declaring themselves locavores—meaning they’ll only eat and cook with ingredients grown locally (typically within a hundred-mile radius). The movement was born of a desire to support local producers and to reject foods shipped in from thousands of miles away on trucks and planes that deplete fossil fuels. - American Express Publishing Corporation by
            • One of my hopes in becoming a locavore was that it would help me lose weight. After all, nutrition experts say that, instead of eating french fries, hamburgers, shakes, cookies, candy, chips, etc, we should be eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. That's pretty much exactly what happens when you become a locavore. - Springfield Locavore by

          • Definition(s)
            • Lokavor quhet një person që konsumon ushqime dhe produkte që prodhohen ose rriten brenda vendit ku banon ose brenda një rrezeje të caktuar si p.sh. 50, 100, ose 150 milje (240 km). Lëvizja lokavore i inkurajon konsumatorët që të blejnë prej tregjeve të fermerëve ose madje t'i prodhojnë vetë ushqimet, me argumentin se produktet e freskëta të vendit janë më ushqyese dhe kanë shije më të mirë. Termi është e krijuar nga bashkimi i fjalëve lokal- (vend) dhe -vore (ngrënës). Krijues të termit janë Jen Maiser, Jessica Prentice, Sage Van Wing, dhe DeDe Sampson, bashkëthemelues të faqes së internetit Locavores.com. Own research - by Αlban SHPΑTΑ
