Agricultura Local, or local agriculture, refers to the practice of cultivating, producing, and distributing food and other agricultural products within a specific local community or region. This concept emphasizes the use of local resources, labor, and traditional farming methods to enhance food security, promote sustainable practices, and support local economies. Local agriculture often includes small-scale farming, community-supported agriculture (CSA), farmers’ markets, and urban farming initiatives that prioritize the sale of products directly to local consumers. By reducing the distance food travels from farm to table, local agriculture aims to minimize environmental impact, strengthen community ties, and provide fresher, healthier food options. It also often incorporates ecological principles, such as crop diversity and organic practices, to maintain soil health and promote biodiversity. Overall, local agriculture fosters a connection between consumers and producers, encouraging local food sovereignty and resilience.
