It’s amazing how many issues a local farm can tie together. Yesterday I was at the ground-breaking for a 28-acre urban farm in Huntersville. This isn’t some simple patch of ground where people are just going to grow broccoli. /thread/ https://t.co/LPXRd1QBEl
- It has been repeatedly emphasized to state leaders by our food industry folks that the food supply chain is good. Just shop when you need to and try and keep your distance from folks. Act like the calm, reasonable people you normally are when you're in a grocery store.
So we talked about local farms and the importance of finding a model that allows them to be sustainable. We talked about some ideas around ending food deserts and making sure people have access to full nutrition.
Here’s to a strong start for Free Spirit Farm. - Jeff P.S. - You can support their efforts here: https://t.co/y4PNLkWsS7
We should learn from successful models of urban farms. The future of food can and should look different. Better nutrition, closer to home, and provided in a way that brings people together and helps teach us about our food.
From @RaleighReporter: "NC's emergency management director reminding people that supply lines and fine and there's no need to panic-buy groceries."
In 1935, only 3% of North Carolina farmers had electricity. Then we passed the Rural Electrification Act and over the next few years that number exploded - and laid the foundation for the next several generations of economic growth across our state. Time to do it again.
In general, we don’t think enough about where our food comes from. As a result, we too often miss opportunities to make local farms an active part of our community.
@NCSCFarmTrust I’ll be there. Looking forward to it.
