  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Meet My Local Farmers
    When you know who produces your food, you are connecting personally to your complex regional food system. What are the advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from? Do you think this might enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?

    Knowing who produces what I eat means providing needed income to my neighbors and my community.  I can follow them on social media and say what I loved about what they produce.  This can help educate others around me about resources they may not know about.
