English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Agriculture - General
DEF

Food grown within a certain distance from the point of its consumption.

OBS

Locally grown fresh food can be consumed almost immediately after harvest, so it may be sold fresher and usually riper (e.g. picked at peak maturity, as it would be from a home garden).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
  • Agriculture - Généralités
DEF

Aliment dont le lieu de production est à proximité du lieu de consommation.

OBS

Certains ont établi qu'un produit qui a été cultivé et transformé dans un rayon de 120 km du lieu de consommation peut être considéré comme un produit «local». [...] Avoir la volonté de consommer davantage de produits locaux commence d'abord avec un calcul du gros bon sens.

Spanish
