Should be "Produced locally" and then define locally as within so many miles.

But again, that says nothing at all about whether or not gallons of chemicals, fertiliser, etc.... have been flown around in order to grow that produce.

As above, that also still would make no distinction between food that has, say, been carried by public transport over 25 miles to it's sales point - and similar food which has been flown 25 miles by courier-jet over a stretch of sea to an island vendor.

As I said already, I find that defining things in such a simplistic way is not very meaningful.
