"zero-mile" food
This seems to check out on Google. I would use the quotes because it seems to be a newly coined term.

I got from "chilometro zero" + food to this word reference page http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1809134&page...
that made me check out the zero-mile food phrase. That's what's helpful about these forums: fresh eyes!

: Correct, but not a new expression at all (no quotes necessary), having been coined in the 1990s by prof Tim Lang. I'm sure this term has already come up on ProZ and is already somewhere in the glossary.
