Group: Consumer-driven production practices, consumer education opportunities, educational needs for the producer

Welcome

Three main areas of emphasis were chosen by this group:


1. Create a website to distribute information on the complete list of
small grains that can be grown in Ohio, their agronomic and nutritional
characteristics, and promote educational activities that support
production and consumption of these crops.

2. Working in urban neighborhoods with low-income households,
particularly single parents with young children: a.) Provide education
about how and why to select and use healthy food products and make
healthy choices. b.) examine the barriers to selecting and using
healthy food products for this population and find ways to remove them.

3. Connect health professionals to available locally produced fresh
products so that they can best use these supplies in their own
educational efforts and prescriptions for health.
