On December 8th, in Washington DC, the Dept of Justice and the USDA will be holding a workshop (kind of like a town hall) to hear from farmers and consumers. Would you like to go and share your experience of how, as a consumer and/or food producer you are affected by the consolidation of our food system?
Maybe you’ve noticed prices rising at the supermarket even while most big food companies made record profits this year.
Maybe your local farm has gone out of business because it couldn’t compete with the prices set by industrial farms and consolidated buyers.
Maybe you know consumers having trouble finding good food at affordable prices, as well as farmers having trouble getting good food into mainstream markets.
To join Slow Food members and staff in Washington DC next week, please email Angelines at angelines[at]slowfoodusa.org
