locavore
Neighborhood food advocate
A locavore is someone who prioritizes eating food grown or produced locally, typically within a certain radius of where they live.
The term emerged in the early 2000s alongside growing interest in sustainable agriculture and reducing the environmental impact of food transportation.
As a locavore, she shops almost exclusively at farmers' markets.
