5. building bridges between farmers and eaters
Thanks, guys! We in Canada get an awful lot of our organic produce from the States.
Comments from urban eaters carry more clout than rural ones.

Comment on "eaters".
I learned from Canadian family farmers to use the word eater rather than consumer. Consumer is a corporatist term.

I also learned that building bridges between farmers and eaters is an act of revolution.
