I think fundamentally, I want to see a generation of farms that are thriving multiracial, multi gendered, embedded in local economies, that are helping their local communities thrive and feeding people around them.
Ever dreamt of trading your desk job for the idyllic life of a small farmer? It might be more challenging than you think. In this episode of Unwasted: The Podcast, Noelle Fogg Elibol from Kitchen Table Advisors sheds light on the harsh economic realities faced by small farmers in the United States. With startling statistics from the USDA—only half of small farms make it past five years, and just a quarter survive beyond fifteen—this conversation is an eye-opener.
Fogg Elibol shares invaluable lessons and practical advice on how to make farming a sustainable livelihood for future generations. She discusses the pivotal role of Kitchen Table Advisors in offering business guidance and creating supportive ecosystems for these farmers. The episode also delves into the pandemic's impact on the food system and emphasizes the importance of fostering multiracial, multi-gendered farms that are deeply rooted in their local communities.
If you're curious about the intricacies of small-scale farming or passionate about sustainable living, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.
