A regional food hub is a central facility that stores, processes, and distributes food products regionally and locally. They are essential to to sustaining agriculture and food distribution because they do have to find new ways to distribute locally and these local hubs help grow food that is in their region and distribute it to regional stores for the consumers. The hubs can find new ways of transportation to deliver their food products faster and more efficiently for the consumers.
2. You could go to numerous places throughout Harford County to find USDA poultry, including Broom's Bloom Dairy in Bel Air and Andy's Eggs in Fallston, MD. There are many types of beef you can find around John Carroll, including Angus beef and crossbred. Some good places to do are Hickory Chance Beef and the Mill of Bel Air. Places to go for vegetables include Brad's Produce in Churchville and Wilson's Farm market in Bel Air.
3. I am writing a proposal for a "JC Sustainable Food Day" where we could get organic food products from local markets and we could help teach the students at John Carroll about growing organic products and how important it is to sustain agricultural products. For one day we could go to a local farm market and pick up some organic products o use for an assembly later that day. During the school day, we could teach that growing organic is important and that agriculture is so important to the United States that we could no go without it. Hopefully, the students here understand how important it is to grow organic products and maybe we could start a program here.
