“In order to feed the world, I think this is a better way. It’s a, you know, it’s a cleaner way. It’s a more humane way.”
More Americans today say they want to know where their food comes from. Some might like the way Kevin Summers raises his hogs.
“I can see the entire process unfold before my eyes and know that they had a good life and were healthy and happy.”
The hogs eat damaged apples and old pumpkins. This reduces food waste. But this kind of farming also means higher prices. Even so, Kevin Summers says he believes it would still be possible to meet global demand this way.
“And it would just involve people making the choice to buy this kind of food and say that, ‘I care about something other than just the cost.’”
Serving Farm-Fresh Meals -- At the Farm
“Farm to table” is the name of a movement that encourages people to eat locally grown food. The farm-to-table idea has become more popular in recent years. But there is also a group that brings “table to farm.” This traveling group is called Outstanding in the Field. It says its mission is to reconnect people to the land and to honor local farmers by creating a sort of restaurant without walls.
Karen Leggett has more on the group, and its founder, Jim Denevan.
“Just even those out with the new table.”
