Farmers Markets - Social and Economic Benefits

Summary

This report is the result of the study I undertook through attending conferences, meetings with key players in the food industry, visits to a number of farms, farmers markets and other stakeholders in Europe, New Zealand and the USA along with internet research and reading relevant industry reports.
This report shows the opportunities that Farmers Markets afford the three main stakeholders, the vendor, the customer and the community. Where synergy exists among these stakeholders you can have a very successful market and a real alternative to the commodities market.
