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.

  • 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

Yes  Taner Göde: Ama "yerli" demek tüm ülkedeki insanları da kapsayabilir. "Bölgesel tüketici" bence daha uygun, hele hele "yerelobur"dan da çok daha uygun. Hiçkimse kendine "yerelobur" dedirtmez... Kendisi de başkasına bu şekilde hitap etmez.

Notes to answerer
Binnur Tuncel van Pomeren Sevgili İbrahim Bey, size katılıyorum ve Türkçe alternatifler olarak yukarıda touran ve Vedat arkadaşlarımızın söyledikleri şekilde hem yerel hem de yerlioburu mantıklı buluyorum. Herbivor (otobur), karnivor (etobur), lokavor (yerelobur/yerliobur)... Herkese güneşli Heppenheim'dan çok iyi bir gün dilerim. Binnur


Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  Binnur Tuncel van Pomeren: son günlerde çevirdiğim bir kitapta bu kelimenin son zamanlarda yılın kelimesi seçildiğini okumuştum. Bu yeni bir kelime. Şimdilik birkaç ülke bu terimi belliki benimsemiş. Yaratıcı olduğu için ve loka(l) ve vor kelimelerine aşina olduğumuz için doğru!
