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? How can knowing their food producers enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?
Knowing who produces your food gives you a sense of not only pride but sense of community and ownership- ownership to help them succeed and do well in their business. If you know ‘the who’ you can advocate for them and for their farms. It makes it more personal and brings the farms to the table in a whole new way.
