Local agriculture refers to farming practices that are conducted within a specific community or region, focusing on producing food and other agricultural products for consumption primarily by local populations. It emphasizes the importance of sustainability, reduced transportation costs, and the promotion of food sovereignty. Local agriculture often includes small-scale farms, community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, and farmers’ markets, encouraging direct connections between producers and consumers. This approach not only supports local economies but also promotes the use of regionally adapted crops and practices, fostering biodiversity and environmental stewardship. Additionally, local agriculture can enhance food security by providing fresh, seasonal produce to nearby communities.
