Where do you buy your beef? When you buy beef at the butcher / grocery store, you’re typically buying commodity beef from the big food supply chains. When you buy beef directly from the farmer / rancher, you typically will find better quality, more transparency, and a program that is better for the environment. Most impactful to the family farm is that whole value of the product goes to them vs 8 cents of every dollar spent at retail when they sell through the big food supply chains. Consider buying direct and finding a program you agree with, whether that is local to you or you order online for delivery. It is well worth the investment of your time to create a relationship with a producer to know what your family is actually eating.

French fries shouldn’t be a luxury item—but allegations of price-fixing by major potato producers show how consolidation in food markets hurts families and small businesses. From raising prices on frozen potato products by 47% to leveraging their dominance over 95% of the market, these companies are putting profits over people. As Groundwork Collaborative’s Executive Director, Lindsay A. Owens, PhD, said: “When there are only a handful of players in the market, collusion is too appetizing for these companies to pass up. Price fixers must be held accountable, but we must also work to make food markets more competitive.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gE5qkGhd
