"The basic idea of what a locavore is, as someone who wants to keep the money local and resources are local because local self-reliance means that, um, you are better prepared as a community for change. You're better, um, prepared for a disaster, and you're also reducing your reliance on an extractive global economy." - Megan Hobza
