Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (the school at the top of my list for future ag-econ studies) wrote up this little piece on “food tiers” describing in easily understandable terms the various sources of foodstuffs in terms of the relationship of consumer to producer.

It’s a good thing I’m reading these two books simultaneously. I’m (according to Kindle) 41% of the way through Paul Roberts’ The End of Food. It’s a long book, and thus far Paul has walked me through human history from our first meals of nuts and bark to our current astonishing dichotomy of feast and [...]

This weekend, South Mountain Creamery hosted a Spring Cow Caper – a great event for their many customers to come tour their dairy, taste their products, eat some barbecue and generally gallivant about.
