Connecting Local Agriculture to Local Economy
Just wrote a post for a WV Day (our 146th Birthday) project a friend of mine put together to have bloggers in the state identify a problem and suggest solutions to create A Better West Virginia. I went off on local/organic and the need to create local agricultural economies, foster their development, and provide support to link them in a Statewide network.
So I'm doing some post-post research and want to ask you all to talk about examples of institutional community support for local agriculture economies.
What do your local farmers' markets do to connect farmers and consumer beyond the physical market? What kinds of non-profits are connecting food from your community to tables in your homes, schools, restaurants, and hospitals?
Can a national organization connect the efforts in different states as well as State organizations can connect efforts in local communities?
