David Lebovitz has a lovely entry today about his first French CSA box. Unfortunately, it appears that the disappearing family farm is a problem in France (!) as well. He cites the NYT’s figure of 30,000 French farms lost annually.
The Center for Food Safety is sending around a taped message from Michael Pollan and a plea for contributions to help small farmers defend themselves against lawsuits brought by Monsanto. If you saw Food, Inc, you know how doggedly the “world’s leading agriculture biotechnology company” has pursued these small farmers. There is a great deal of information at the site even if you don’t wish to contribute.
On the subject of contributions, I would like to remind everyone that we are in the prime season for food drives. It is never easier to contribute to your local food pantry than during the holiday season. Please don't forget those for whom food quality is far less a concern than food quantity.
