Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food

Very interesting article on the role of the USDA in the local food system growing in our country.

The Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food (KYF) initiative itself is the brainchild of USDA Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan — possibly the highest ranking supporter of sustainable agriculture we’ve ever had at USDA — as a way to highlight efforts to aid local foods.

Lots of good links.
