Consumer demand for locally and sustainably raised food is growing in North Carolina, as it is across the country. Farmers all over the state are working to meet the demand, a task that's seldom as simple as it seems. Beyond the fields, policy makers and educators are working to develop systems that will provide a viable economic future for farmers while building a locally based food economy. Host Frank Stasio talks about the future of farming in the state with Michelle Schroeder-Moreno, head of N.C. State's agroecology program; Roland McReynolds, executive director of the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association; Jennifer Curtis, of the Center for Environmental Farming Systems; and Martha Mobley, a Franklin County farmer and state agriculture extension agent.
