Food Dialogues
See What Farmers and Ranchers are Saying
For too long the voice of farmers and ranchers has often been missing in the conversation about where food in America comes from. That changes now. We surveyed farmers and ranchers and asked them to share with us what they wish Americans knew about how food is brought to their tables.
See the comments from farmers and ranchers when they were asked the following survey questions: (click the question to see the comments):
- “If you could tell the average consumer one thing about where their food comes from, what would it be?”
- “If you could tell the average consumer one thing about the modern farming and ranching industry, what would it be?
- “Why do you think they view farmers and ranchers positively?”
- “What is the best thing about being a farmer or rancher?”
- “What is the worst thing about being a farmer or rancher?”
- “In the past one to three years, what new techniques or practices have you implemented on your farm or ranch to improve the quality of the product you deliver to your customers?”
- “In the past one to three years, what new techniques or practices have you implemented on your farm or ranch to improve the quality of your production process to deliver your product to customers?”
- “What can farming/ranching do as an industry to continue to provide healthy food for everyone?"
Share your voice: What do you wish Americans had more information about when it comes to how their food is grown and raised?
