"Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field."
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
Farm to fork is the process of which how food is grown and how it gets to the consumer, also referred to as farm to table. Farm to fork is supporting how restaurants pride themselves on serving local foods, supporting local farms and farmers that use sustainable practices, and of course, providing the healthiest of meals to the public. This was how food was produced in the early years after settlement and the evolution from hunter and gatherers became subsistence farming. Somewhere along the way, after the agricultural revolution, America and a handful of other countries became reliant on large-scale farming, often called factory farming. A shift back to smaller, local farms has begun and needs to be heavily supported for the future of our food safety in America.
There are many issues and aspects of farming in the modern era that we will investigate.
