The Cornucopia Institute

I have newly linked (see side bar) to the Cornucopia Institute's blog.


The Cornucopia Institute

The Cornucopia Institute, through research and investigations on agricultural and food issues, provides needed information to family farmers, consumers and other stakeholders in the good food movement and to the media. We support economic justice for the family-scale farming community – partnered with consumers – backing ecologically produced local, organic and authentic food.
Lots of good information.  However, the entry that really struck me was the one from August 18th, which opens with, "Why do we need farmers?"  It literally made my stomach hurt to read this piece.
Lots of information about corporate non-food, GMO's etc.
Won't necessarily warm your heart, but might get it beating a bit faster.
