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)

locavoor
Hoe groot deze "omgeving" is, verschilt nogal, maar een straal van 100-200 km wordt meerdere malen genoemd. Men is het er overigens niet helemaal over eens hoe goed dit eigenlijk is voor het milieu. Grote producenten gebruiken meer effectieve vervoerssystemen zodat de CO2-uitstoot per product minder wordt. Ook kan men zich afvragen of Nederlandse kastomaten beter zijn dan vollegrond-producten die van verder weg komen.

Van Dale:
Het woord locavoor staat voor iemand die uit het oogpunt van duurzaamheid principieel alleen maar voedsel nuttigt dat in zijn omgeving is geproduceerd.
Example sentences:
Honderd jaar geleden waren we allemaal locavoren. (dag.nl)
Na de herbivoor, omnivoor en carnivoor hebben we nu de locavoor. Dat staat voor iemand die alleen voedsel tot zich neemt dat binnen een straal van 150 km van zijn of haar verblijfplaats is gekweekt en geoogst. (Trendslator)
