Obama Speaks of a Localized Food System PDF Print E-mail
Written by Kiki Hubbard   
Tuesday, 17 June 2008

Bush uttered the words "local food" not too long ago but his policy decisions are far from aligned with your typical locavore. What if our next president promised to "implement USDA policies that promote local and regional food systems, including assisting states to develop programs aimed at community supported farms?"

A fellow Missoulian scored some answers to timely food and agriculture questions from presidential hopeful Barack Obama recently, including the quote above. Curious to know his take on the Farm Bill, ethanol, and local food? Read up and take note: the interview concludes with his family chili recipe.

We hope you're for real, Senator Obama. We've been hungry for change in U.S. agriculture policy for a long, long time.

Are you an Envirovore?

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.

Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
