1.1 Identifying and Pursuing Questions:

A few weeks ago I was at Pete’s Greens as a part of one of my class’ unit on food systems. One of Pete’s Greens mottos is that “Vermont can feed itself.” Now this sounds great, they are able to grow […] -

To speak to smaller farms becoming a part of larger companies, I think this can be the case in a competitive dairy market. A good example of this can be seen with the Rooney Farm. They are a small farm family farm […]

I’m really thinking that the stories are in the small farms, as that is where the human touch. And where I am starting to see more of a story is the ways in which we can help small farms become more […]

Thank you for all these thoughts. I feel as though I was possibly a little overzealous starting this project, getting sucked into these big statistics. Now, as I mentioned to Shel, I have been focusing more on the […]

I am going to follow the trend of previous comments and also touch on the John Lennon quote. It was interesting to see you making connections to so many things from statistics to song lyrics. The song lyrics in […]

The first “why” I have in my issue is to create a more sustainable Vermont. This is very vague but also quite agreeable, who doesn’t want a more sustainable future? The second “why” is looking for the answer […]

What really brought the issue of animal agriculture’s effect on environmental degradation and resource usage into my vision was the 2014 documentary “Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret.” The documentary throws […]
