Bootstrapping the Food Revolution The process of rebuilding our food system is underway. Indoor farm technologies, zero waste food establishments, shared spaces, subscriptions and even food trucks have opened a universe of opportunities to be part of the sustainable food movement. Bootstrap Farmer wants to do our part. By reusing equipment year after year, we all reduce waste. Creating an impactful change feels like a big task, but thousands of us are out there doing it anyway- learning on the fly. Networks of farmers & producers building hubs providing for the local food economy. Restaurants exchanging Bootstrap containers with their farmers. Farmers taking a larger share of the supply chain through their farm grown meal plans. Turning herbs into a craft cocktail out of a food truck. The possibilities are endless. Bootstrap Farmer founder Brandon Youst is trying out these things through Veg2Bowl and the Craven Local Food Market in Ernul, NC, relating the lessons learned through the Urban Farm Academy.
