85 - Community Sponsored Agriculture- The Original Kickstarter

Dr. Booker T. Whatley, a professor at Tuskegee University, designed an innovative small farm plan that is now known as community sponsored agriculture( CSA). CSA's benefit the families of farmers and the local community by providing healthy food, job growth and preservation of heirloom vegetables and fruit. Eating ten servings per day of fresh vegetables and fruit is linked to longer life expectancy and a decreased risk of chronic health diseases and some cancers. Tune in as we discuss ways to increase your intake of fruit and vegetables, eat local food and support local farms.
