English term or phrase: locavore
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 sentence(s):
  • 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

محلی خوار


Definition from own experience or research:
کسی که مواد غذایی را مصرف می کند که به صورت محلی و در شعاع مشخصی از محل زندگی وی تولید می گردد.

Example sentence(s):
  • We already have such terms as "گیاه خوار", "گوشت خوار", "همه چیز خوار", "حشره خوار", etc. whose English equivalents, "herbivor", "carnivore", "omnivore", "insectivore", are analogous with "locavore". Therefore, we can coin the Persian equivalent "محلی خوار" for "locavore", though I didn't find it anywhere. - دایناسورهای گیاه خوار  
  • درباره گياهان گوشتخوار نقل قول ها ، افسانه ها و شايعات بسياري وجود دارد كه در آن از گل مرگ (كه قادر به گرفتن يك مرد و فشردن آن در داخل گلبرگ هايش مي باشد)، از درخت انگور گوشتخوار ، از درخت افعي و از درخت ميمون گير (كه برگهاي آن بعد از شكار ميمون باز شده و استخوانهاي عاري از گوشت شكار را به خارج مي ريزد) نام برده شده است. عليرغم اين نوشته هاي نا معقول و مسخره كه در اصل داراي حقيقتي هستند درباره اين گياهان بسيار گزافه گوئي شده و آنها را به طريق ناهنجاري بزرگ كرده اند. شكار گياهان گوشتخوار در حقيقت حيوانات بسيار كوچك و اغلب اوقات حشرات هستند. حتي براي اين گياهان نام گياهان حشره خوار به جاي گياهان گوشتخوار پيشنهاد شده است ولي هنوز استعمال گياهان گوشتخوار عموميت بيشتري دارد. ‏اما چرا یک گياه حشره میخورد؟ مگر نه اینکه گیاهان مواد غدایی را از خاک دریافت می کنند؟ پاسخ این است که گیاهان حشره‌خوار در زمینهایی مانند مردابها یا لجن‌زارها رشد میکنند که خاک آن از نظر مواد مغذی بسیار فقیر است. این گیاهان برای دریافت نیتروژن و مواد مغذی دیگر، به شکار حشرات و استفاده از مواد موجود در آنها پرداخته و برای این منظور تکامل یافته‌اند. - همه چيز در مورد گیاها�
