farm-to-fork
Grower to plate
Farm-to-fork describes food that moves directly from agricultural production to the consumer's plate, emphasizing short supply chains and local sourcing.
The phrase highlights freshness, sustainability, and transparency about where food comes from: a farm-to-fork restaurant, the farm-to-fork movement.
Farm-to-table means the same thing.
