Etymology
The word "locavore" is a portmanteau of the Latin word "locus" (meaning "place") and the English word "vore" (meaning "one who eats").
Meaning
A locavore is a person who makes a conscious effort to eat locally sourced food, typically within a certain geographic radius of their home.
Origin
The term "locavore" was first coined by Jessica Prentice, a member of the San Francisco Food Security Council, in 2005. The concept of eating locally grown food had been gaining traction for several years prior to this, but Prentice's coinage of the term helped to popularize the movement.
The locavore movement has grown significantly in the past decade, as people become more aware of the environmental, economic, and health benefits of eating locally. Locavores typically seek out food from farmers' markets, CSAs (community supported agriculture programs), and local grocery stores that sell locally sourced products.
