Vous l’aurez deviné, un localvore est quelqu’un qui mange « local »! Qu’ils se disent localvores ou non, qu’ils soient d’Europe, des États-Unis ou d’ici, les consommateurs qui achètent en priorité des aliments produits localement sont de plus en plus nombreux. Ils le font principalement pour encourager l’économie locale, diminuer leur impact sur l’environnement et mieux connaître ce qu’ils mangent. 2, record 2, French, - localivore
