Despite a recognition that local food is better for the environment, as well as for local economies, the locavore movement is still small in comparison to the corporate stronghold.
Find inspiration to eat locally with this collection of locavore innovations, with everything from DIY victory gardens to subscription soup deliveries.
Implications - In a time when consumers can look at the world holistically with the click of a button, it's easy to overlook what's in one's own neighborhood. The locavore movement encourages people to discover the treasures of their community, city and country by eating mostly food that has been locally grown. In order tap into the eco-conscious consumer market, food retailers such as grocery stores and restaurants might want to consider getting locally sourced goods.
