Meat Supply Chain Challenges: Family Farms vs. Tyson Foods and Brooke Ence’s New Initiative
Meat Supply Chain Issues Impacting Family Farms
The meat supply chain is facing significant challenges, leading to the closure of family farms across the United States. As Tyson Foods continues to expand its market dominance, smaller producers struggle to maintain their operations. This trend not only impacts these farms but also has larger implications for the economy and health issues related to food production.
Brooke Ence's Initiative for a 'Parallel' Food Economy
In response to these challenges, Brooke Ence, a CrossFit athlete, is taking bold steps to initiate change. Her program, From the Farm, aims to connect consumers directly with local family farms. This innovative food system approach encourages a healthier supply chain and supports the local economy.
- Direct consumer access to farms
- Improving health issues related to food access
- Encouraging sustainability in farming practices
By promoting small-scale agriculture, Ence is challenging the existing dynamics of the food industry and offering a viable alternative to the mainstream meat supply chain.
