    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?

    (Yes) knowing who grows your food will educate you about how the produce is processed and how safe it is to consume it. I can say I will feel more comfortable buying the produce.

    While this seems simple, I've procrastinated it for years because of possible complications to my records maintenance system.
