Why Go Locavore? Uncover the Importance of Local Food Systems

The Locavore movement emphasizes the importance of food and its origins. Food is not just fuel or entertainment; it becomes a part of us and comes from somewhere. However, the global industrial food system separates us from the source of our food, and we don’t know how it was produced or by whom. The Locavore movement aims to restore the ancient tradition of connecting humans and human communities to the Earth through food by consuming food produced within a one-hundred-mile radius, shopping at farmers’ markets, and joining a local Community Supported Agriculture farm.
