<br />The true cost of food
<br />Community Food Assessment results are in
<br />By ELLEN METRICK
<br />A'd,mr
<br />le conversation started
<br />around the same time as
<br />f arm markets, when people
<br />sometimes complained about
<br />the high cost of food. This Friday
<br />the conversation about food cost
<br />continues with some answers
<br />and more questions with the
<br />presentation of the San Miguel
<br />Watershed Community Food
<br />Assessment Survey.
<br />At The New Community
<br />Coalition's (TNCC) Green
<br />Business Roundtable on Friday,
<br />the survey results will be pre-
<br />sented by Bodie and llsa
<br />Johansson, who conducted and
<br />compiled the survey with help
<br />from a Paradox Strengthening
<br />Communities Fund grant.
<br />The survey focused on several
<br />elements of food in the commu-
<br />nity, from where people in the
<br />San Miguel Watershed get their
<br />food to how much they pay for it,
<br />who the local producers are and
<br />how much they do and can pro-
<br />duce, and how much money they
<br />can realistically make on what
<br />they grow and sell.

<br />regional food picture," said
<br />Colleen Trout of TNCC. Another
<br />issue that arises is the cost of
<br />buying local food, and the true
<br />costs of buying any food.
<br />"We're really excited to have
<br />this conversation," said Trout. "If
<br />you ever grow food, you know
<br />how much time and effort it
<br />takes, and people don't really
<br />think about the true cost of kiwi
<br />front New Zealand, or mangoes
<br />from Chile. Those foods travel a
<br />lot of miles and have a huge car-
<br />bon footprint."
<br />Friday's Greets Business
<br />Roundtable is at Wilkinson
<br />Library Program Room in
<br />'bllurde, 8:30 a.m. The event is
<br />hosted by TNCC and the
