Renewing an Agriculture of the Middle
Funded by the WK Kellogg Foundation and the USDA’s SARE program, a national task force is being assembled that will articulate an initiative to renew what is being called the “agriculture-of-the-middle.” This term refers to a disappearing sector of mid-scale farms and related agrifood enterprises that are unable to successfully market bulk agricultural commodities or sell food directly to consumers. The task force will author a white paper that will launch a dialogue with government and non-governmental organizations whose interests would support the development of this initiative.
