In or relating to a particular area or neighborhood rather than a wider region or the whole world.
From Latin 'localis' meaning 'of or pertaining to a place', derived from 'locus' (place). The English adverb form added the '-ly' suffix in medieval times.
The 'buy local' movement is actually a return to how humans naturally lived for thousands of years—before refrigeration and fast transportation, everyone ate and traded locally, so understanding your food source was automatic.
