| Summary: | There is a food revolution going on in America. According to best-selling author, Michael Pollan, people are "voting with their forks": more and more, they care about where their food comes from and how it is produced. In an alternative to corporate farming, new generations of ecologically minded family farmers have sprouted up throughout the country, spawning thousands of local marketplaces. Living close to Nature's cycles, farmers know that agriculture contributes - some say 20% -- to global carbon emissions and they want to do the right thing to reduce that danger. These farmers markets, specialty distributors, and a growing legion of environmentally conscious chefs, food critics and agricultural experts, are changing how we grow our food and distribute it throughout the country. The "green food" movement--a diversified menu of chemical free, healthy, and delicious food direct from the farmer--has achieved momentum. |
