St. Louis Regional Food Study
As industrialized agriculture has proliferated across Missouri and the Midwest, MCE has worked to support farmers who have remained committed to using environmentally-responsible practices despite pressure from industry and incentives from the government to farm using other practices. One of the best ways to support environmentally-responsible practices is to educate consumers in the farmers’ local “foodsheds” about their practices and where to buy their products. MCE also works to help these farmers get their products into more institutions, grocery stores, and other markets.
