FOOD & WINE's CLASSIC IN ASPEN
A Robust Food and Wine Industry Begins at the Farm...
That's why FOOD & WINE has launched Grow for Good, a national initiative dedicated to supporting local farms and encouraging sustainable agriculture.
The Facts:
- America loses 2 acres of farmland every minute to commercial and residential development and poor food production
- Our food travels on average 2,000 miles from the farm to our plate, causing a toll on the environment
- Industrial agricultural systems emphasize chemical solutions (pesticides, fertilizers, and hormones) to biological problems that compromise the quality, taste, freshness and nutritional value of our food
- To survive and prosper, local farms must have access to a diverse local distribution model and to sustainable agriculture techniques and technologies
