The contribution of localized food production to the overall sustainability of the food system.
In some countries, some areas are semi arid, or desert like hence not productive. While other areas are very fertile and productive to feed the entire country. Transport and distribution of food from areas to consumption.
Areas are suitable (climate and soils) for food production should be boasted with reliable market to sustain the food system.
The local food production is part of country's food production. The local food production plays an important role in the sustainability of food. The enough food outputs can ensure the sustainable food provision, and further make sure food security etc.
This is just my viewpoint. Hope it can help. Thanks.
Local food production is beneficial to long-term regional development and should be considered one of the pillars of such plans. Because of the cultural and historical linkages in their communities, local food producers share a common legacy, and customers cherish locally produced food. Kindly check:

Article The sustainability of “local” food: a review for policy-makers
The local food production is the main part of country's food production.
Local food production benefits sustainable regional development and should be considered as one the pillars of sustainable regional development strategies. (DOI:10.3390/su12072847 Corpus ID: 216204410)
Local food producers share a common heritage because of the cultural and historical ties in their regions, while consumers tend to value food products produced locally. (Article Do Local Food Products Contribute to Sustainable Economic Development?
)
I think that the most important industry is Food Industry and efforts should be taken to develop it locally. The Local food producer tries to satisfy the demand and taste when required or demanded.
Anything that naturally adapts and is less susceptible to disease with maximal productivity is a sustainable product
