释义

locavoren.

Brit. /ˈləʊkəvɔː/, U.S. /ˈloʊkəˌvɔr/
Forms: also with capital initial.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: local adj., -ivore comb. form.
Etymology: < loca- (in local adj.) + -vore (in -ivore comb. form).Coined by Jessica Prentice in 2005 as the name for an informal group of which she was a founding member, committed to supporting local and sustainable food systems in the San Francisco area (see quot. 20051). She and the other members of the group set themselves the challenge of eating only foods grown or harvested within a 100 mile radius of San Francisco for an entire month. The name was apparently coined specifically for the newspaper article from which quot. 20051 is taken.
A person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food; frequently attributive.
