<strong>\u201cD.O.\u201d (denomination of origin)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Look for sustainable certifications<\/strong>: Many local products have certifications indicating their origins in <strong>organic farming<\/strong> or bear <strong>sustainability seals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Ask the seller<\/strong>: If you are in a truly local store, the seller is likely to know the origins of every product they sell, so don\u2019t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Seasonality<\/strong>: Remember that all zero-kilometer products are <strong>seasonal<\/strong>, reflecting the natural cycles of the region.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Join consumer groups<\/strong>: There are <strong>consumer groups and cooperatives<\/strong>
