Definition from
Wikipedia:
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.
Example sentences:
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)
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)
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)

vietinio maisto valgytojas
Kūrybinės laisvės verčiant šį terminą labai daug. Bet kol kas nieko trumpesnio ir tikslesnio nepavyko sugalvot.

asmuo, kuris dėl (aplinkosaugos) įsitikinimų valgo tik vietinės kilmės maisto produktus
Example sentences:
Aštrėjant aplinkosaugos problemoms, pasaulyje formuojasi nauja entuziastų grupė, kuri renkasi tik regiono produktus – esą taip mažinama maisto gamybos ir transportavimo keliama tarša. JAV šiems žmonėms net sukurtas specialus terminas „locavore“ (angl. local – vietinis, voracious – valgus), praneša BBC. Kanadoje idėjos šalininkai sukūrė „šimto mylių“ valgiaraštį. Pagal jį maistas ant stalo gali atsirasti, tik jei yra ne iš toliau nei šimtas mylių nuo svetainės, kurioje šis stalas stovi. (Bernardinai)
Švedai per 18 mėnesių (tokia numatyta programos trukmė) užsibrėžę mus išmokyti, kaip paruošti ekologiškai švarų maistą lietuviškų patiekalų kontekste, skatinant vienytis vietinę rinką - maisto pramonės atstovus, jų gaminių “perdirbėjus” (kavines, restoranus) ir mus, vietinio maisto valgytojus.
