Welcome to Ithaca's Food Web!

I've read a lot about the rise of local food in the national media, and there have been some interesting examples about what individuals, farms, and organizations are doing around the country.  But, I wondered, what's going on right here, locally?  Where is the local reporting on local food and all the issues surrounding it?

That's where Ithaca's Food Web comes in.  Here you will find local news about local food, in and around Ithaca, NY and Tompkins County. News like: Who’s growing, producing, preserving, and cooking local food? What’s in season, where can I buy it, and how do I cook it? How do our food choices connect us to our neighbors and our land? How do national food issues relate to us? Do all people --our neighbors-- have access to fresh, local, whole, and nutritous food if they want it?

Wondering what’s with the name? A food web is a concept that links all the members of an ecosystem by what they eat, usually shown in a picture or diagram. Here in Ithaca, NY, we could draw a specific diagram linking you, me, everything we eat, etc. Or, we could just have a website like this one :)
