Sustainable food movement.

The sustainable, or local, food movement has garnered much attention in the early twentieth century. The purpose of the self-proclaimed “locavores,” or followers of the local food movement, is to eat food that is fresh, unprocessed, and locally grown. These foods are typically produced in home gardens or found at farmers markets and specialty food stores. Drawbacks, such as availability and expense, are some of the hurdles to eating local.
