The Crop To Cuisine Credo
Think that global warming is too big, too colossal a problem for you to do anything about? What about the safety of your food supply, or the poor state of the economy? Innovation and creativity is bringing us many ideas as to how we can solve these problems. Yet important as they are, many of the proposed solutions for these problems are financially out of reach for you and I. Can you afford to buy a new Hybrid car or solar panels for your home? I cant. Do you have the time or space to grow all your own fruits and vegetables, to raise your own farm animals? I know I don't, and I can guess the answer for most of you. Many people today are having a hard enough time keeping their jobs, or finding new ones. And it has been some time since the days of agrarian society.  

As the limitations of globalization become ever clearer, the need to revisit the source of our food supply is paramount. In 2007, the United States Food and Drug Administration cited over 350 recall related incidents, a 1000% increase from 1999. 

As global warming has moved from a debate to a reality, solutions are needed at a rapid pace.

When the fruits of our labor are moving abroad, we need to reexamine where we want to spend our money, and what we want to support with it.

These are big sweeping problems. Problems that we feel in our communities, neighborhoods, homes, and around the world.
But
,
you are wrong to think that you don't have the power to make changes - to improve the situation for yourself, those communities, and others around the globe. This is not a "self help" gimmick designed to make your wildest fantasies come to fruition.
This is Crop To Cuisine - a radio program that helps you shrink your carbon footprint, access healthy, clean, and safe wholesome food, and support your local economy, all while keeping more of your hard earned dough where it belongs - WITH YOU.
