Local food and the farm bill

Extension Out Loud

In this episode we talk with Cheryl Thayer, Local Food Distribution and Marketing Specialist with the Cornell Cooperative Extension Harvest New York Team. Cheryl is actively working to support and grow local food systems here in New York. This episode – while it does discuss the farm Bill – explores the idea of local food systems more broadly. We talk about some of the programs active here in New York that support different aspects of local food systems like double up food bucks, the field and fork network and food hubs. Please take our survey and let us know what you think about Extension Out Loud. All data is gathered is anonymous and will help us shape upcoming episodes.
