terroir

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terroir:

Terroir (French pronunciation: ​[tɛʁwaʁ] from terre, "land") is the set of special characteristics that the geography, geology and climate of a certain place, interacting with plant genetics, express in agricultural products such as wine, coffee, chocolate, hops, tomatoes, heritage wheat, and tea.

From Backyard Composting Isn't Scary—It's Actually Quite Easy | TakePart:

"I’ve wondered how bat guano is harvested, if vegans are OK with eating vegetables that sucked up nutrients from applications of blood and bone meal, and considered the scatological affect that fertilizing my tomatoes with compost comprised of waste from the Los Angeles Zoo would have on the terroir of my backyard.   "
