Local Food
[Also: Local eating, Local produce, Locally grown food]
Foods, usually fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy produced nearby. Because farmers do not have to transport local foods great distances, fuel costs and greenhouse emissions drop. In addition, buyers receive fresher produce at lower costs.
