English term
locavore
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)

Proposed translations
τοπικοφάγος
Φανταστείτε πώς θα αντιμετώπιζαν οι πρόγονοί μας ένα βιβλίο με τίτλο «Σε υπεράσπιση της τροφής». Ποτέ δεν θα πίστευαν ότι η τροφή χρειάζεται συνήγορο. Τώρα όμως το μανιφέστο αυτό του Μάικλ Πόλαν ανέβηκε στην κορυφή της λίστας των μπεστ σέλερ. Με το προηγούμενο βιβλίο του, «Το δίλημμα του παμφάγου», ο Πόλαν πρόσθεσε μία λέξη στο New Oxford American Dictionary - τη λέξη locavore («τοπικοφάγος»). Να σκέφτεστε οικουμενικά, να τρώτε τοπικά.
