Food is a Critical and Multidimensional Topic
When we talk about food, we are also discussing health, farming, land, water, and the reality of changing weather patterns. Food is not only about big business but also personal economics, as we all want to be able to afford to eat in a healthy manner. It’s clear that the health of our community is directly related to how well our community eats.
