But all of this interest int erest doesn’t mean the work is easy.

“I’m slaying dragons every day,” says Murphy, referring to the obstacles he faces in running a restaurant built on local food, from onerous food safety regulations designed for industrial-scale ventures to shortsighted farm policies that tha t have reduced Vermont’s Vermont’s crop diversity,, to the crushing weight of global food brands diversity on struggling local businesses.  As I listen to Murphy Murphy describe his vision—what he calls a “wild experiment”—I can’t help but think that

In Oaxaca, Mexico, a group of o f citizens motivated by the same concerns succeeded in keeping a new McDonalds from being built in their historic city  center. In Canada, a continent-wide protest against Monsanto took root when the giant agricultural chemical and seed company filed a slapp suit against a farmer named Percy Schmeiser after finding some of its patented patent ed seed on his land. (The Federal Court of Canada in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan didn’t find that Schmeiser had planted it—the seed had evidently blown onto Schmeiser’s land from adjoining farms using Monsanto seed—but ruled in favor of Monsanto anyway anyway.) .) And in Europe, even larger numbers of people—enough to move governments—have been resisting the importation of such genetically engineered products from the United States. In one way or another, these are all acts in defense of local food supplies and culinary traditions. Nor are all these acts just protests.

scape where the Krafts, Monsantos, and ADMs play the role of the Tudors, Tzars, and Louis XIVs, Murphy’s life work is fighting for food democracy democracy..  At first blush, “food democracy” may seem a little grandiose—a strange combination of words. But if   you doubt the existence of power relations in the realm of food, consider a point made by Frances and Anna Lappé in their book Hope’s Edge . The typical supermarket contains no fewer than 30,000 items. About half of those items are produced by 10 multinational food and beverage companies. And roughly 140 people—117 men and 21 women—form the boards of  directors of those 10 companies. In other words, although the plethora of products you see at a typical supermarket gives the appearance of abundant choice, much of the variety is more a matter of packaging and branding than of true agricultural variety, and rather than coming to us from thousands of different dif ferent farmers producing different local varieties, has been globally standardized and selected for maximum profit by   just a few powerful powerfu l executives. From this imperialistic food landscape, we are begin-

PLANET OF COLONIES

For many of those who are declaring food independence, there is a sense of growing urgency—“slow food” food ” notwithstanding. Food travels farther and is controlled by a smaller number of global entities than ever before.  Advances in technology that allow longer storage and more distant (and less costly) shipping shippin g have encouraged the food system to sprawl. Cheap gasoline and transportation subsidies have facilitated the expansion. The  value of international food trade has tripled since 1960; the volume has quadrupled. In the United States, the average food item travels between 2,500 and 4,000 kilometers, about 25 percent farther than in 1980. In the United Kingdom, food travels 50 percent farther than

In Vancouver, Vancouver, food activist Herb Barbolet Barbo let points out that the issue of local control is not just a vague provincial resistance to a globalizing industry. Founder and director of the nonprofit FarmFolk/CityFolk (FF/CF), Barbolet rattles off a list of concrete benefits: “Less fossil fuel use and road congestion from moving food around.” (Surveys show that a basic meal made from imported ingredients can easily account for four times the energy and four times the greenhouse gas emissions of an equivalent meal made with ingredients from local sources.) “Preservation of local farmland and local farmers.” (Farmers that have a local market are less likely to go extinct.) “Superior flavor.” flavor.” (Double-blind studies show that people consistently choose farmers’ market produce over stale, long-distance fare—one of the reasons this movement has attracted the attention of chefs, food critics, and discriminating eaters around the globe.)

For example, there was the 2001 footand-mouth outbreak in the United Kingdom, which brought sales of British meat to an abrupt halt and devastated rural communities. It spread considerably farther and faster than an earlier outbreak in 1967, largely  because animals today are shipped from all over the nation to central slaughterhouses. In 1967 most slaughtering and consumption took place locally. Investiga-

Recent terrorist incidents have raised fears, especially in the United States, about how vulnerable a highly  centralized and long-distance food system could be to tampering and disruption.

Here, we’d be set.”

LOCAL FOOD, LOCAL MONEY   At the Farmers Dinner, Murphy sketches out his master plan. His words come at the steady pace of a thoughtful businessman, not a fanatic. Murphy is a slender, attractive man in his thirties—people told me to look for “the guy with the pony tail” of long straight blond-brown hair. A standard diner, Murphy explains, has at most five suppliers, and often fewer. The suppliers are the long arms of the global agribusiness industry—behemoths like Sysco Corporation, which is the largest food distributor in North America, and is ranked by Forbes as the second-largest food processor as well. Most diners and restaurants just call up

the vulnerability issue, there is a certain peace of mind that comes from knowing where your food comes from— a peace that may be unique to local cuisine. For instance, a bottle of Tropicana brand apple juice says it “contains concentrate from Germany Germany,, Austria, Hungary, Argentina, Chile, Turkey, Brazil, China, and the United States”— a list of countries with a wide range of pesticide standards. Good luck knowing what you’re eating. In turn, when people have some say over local food

In its first six months of operation, the Diner spent 70 percent of its food budget on food grown  within a 50-mile radius. radi us. Murphy plans to boost that share, using a model he calls the “pod.” Attached to one side of the diner  will be a governm government ent certified meat proces processor sor.. Attache Attached d to the other side will be a certified food processing facility, equipped for canning, drying, and baking. “Most diners use pre-sliced, frozen carrots,” says Murphy, “but our goal is to have a place for processing local carrots in season and also freezing fr eezing or pickling or canning them for the off-season.” Murphy’s pod idea addresses one of the biggest barriers to greater reliance on local food—the difficulty dif ficulty of  building back the local crop diversity and food processing capacity that has been eroded by successive waves of consolidation. “In most communities, the dairy is gone, the cheesemaker is gone, the cannery is gone, even the bakery is gone,” says Andy Fischer, director of the U.S.-based Community Food Security Coalition. In this respect, Vermont Vermont already has some big advantages over most communities in the United States and the world. It has one of the most diverse farm landscapes in the nation, and more certified organic land as a share of total area than any other state in the union. And it has more local cheese diversity than the next five states com-

ing shop attached to the diner can use the “seconds” and blemished fruit and veggies that farmers would normally throw out to make soups, jams, and chutneys. As Murphy develops relationships with local growers, the costs of doing business can actually go down. “If we know how many potatoes and onions and tomatoes we  will need on a monthly basis, the grower knows exactly  how much he can sell us,” he says. The farmer benefits in terms of cash flow and security, and can charge Murphy less as a result. Of course, as Murphy’s corner of Vermont becomes more self-sufficient with respect to food, it will also tend to hold on to more of the money local people spend on food; less money is siphoned off of f to pay shipping and storage and brokering fees. The diner now buys $15,000 $15,0 00 of produce from local farmers per month, a number Murphy says will increase as the diner expands. “My  favorite job is writing checks to farmers,” he says with a smile. He has recently been speaking with the son of  a farmer who is trying to figure out if he can keep the family farm afloat by raising pigs for the diner. The argument for greater self-sufficiency has been substantiated by London, a recent study from the New Foundation in which found thatEconomics every £10 spent at a local food business is worth £25 to the local area, compared with just £14 when the same amount is spent in a supermarket. Whether it’s in pounds, pesos, or rupees, money spent locally generates nearly twice as much income for the local economy. economy. Compare this multiplier with the more colonial relar elationship prevailing in most rural economies. economi es. Ken Meter and Jon Rosales, economists at the Crossroads Resource Center in Minneapolis, recently found that while farmers in southeastern Minnesota had sales of $866 million in farm products in 1997, they spent $947 raising this food, primarily as payments for fertilizer, pesticide, and land made to distant suppliers, creditors, or absentee landowners. (If not for federal subsidies, many  of these farmers would not be in business.) Meanwhile, residents of the region spent over $500 million buying  food that year, almost exclusively from producers and companies based outside of the region. Doug O’Brien, director of the nation’s largest hunger relief organization, noted the irony of Midwestern Americans “going to a food bank for a box of cornflakes to feed their children in a community where thousands of acres are devoted to growing the corn for the cornflakes.” In toto, Meter and Rosales concluded, the current agricultural relationships extract about $800 million from the region’s economy each year year.. S LETtoTHEM GMO The last few times I’ve spoken Murphy,EAT Murphy , he can barely  catch his breath. He’s been busy, not only running a diner, but also fielding publicity calls. Gourmet  has

already done the diner story; the New York Times “Dining” section and Vermont Life have stories in the pipeline.

and patents on life, but Mittal harbors a particular interest in local food, which she sees as a major antidote for all of these other evils. “Local food production is about exerting independence from the whims of international markets and the dictates of international trade agreements,” agr eements,” Mittal told me. “The minute you start eroding food self-sufficiency, it’s a recipe for famine.” And poor nations nat ions that find themselves without food reserves will learn that

Mittal points to the recent diplomatic nightmare that occurred when the government of Zambia, confronting a famine, refused r efused American food aid which contained genetically engineered crops. After criticizing the African leaders for jeopardizing their citizens’ lives, American negotiators ultimately  agreed to find non-genetically engineered grain to donate, then mill it to ensure that Zambian farmers  wouldn’t plant the engineered engineered grain.

ministers from the Third World walked out to protest the fact that most of the “negotiating” was going on in backroom deals that excluded most nations. Mittal goes on to note that the guiding language of the WTO’s Agreement on Agriculture was drafted by a vice president of  Cargill, the multinational food processor and trader. “This is not food democracy, but food hypocrisy,” Mittal says, explaining that in recent rounds of trade negotiations the United States and Europe have successfully encouraged poorer nations to reduce tariffs,  while keeping their own tariffs and subsidies to domestic farmers high. Mittal is a native of India, and I asked her about the Navdanya (“Nine Seeds”) movement to help preserve India’s crop diversity and promote promot e food self-sufficiency self-suffici ency.. Founded in 1991, Navdanya protects local varieties of   wheat, rice, rice, and other crops from patents by cataloguing them and declaring them common property property.. It sets up locally-owned seed banks, farm supply stores, and storage facilities, and helps to establish “Zones for Freedom,” villages that pledge to reject chemical fertilizers and pesticides, genetically engineered seeds, and“Freedom” patents on life. in this context has both an economic and an ecological meaning. Local crop diversity helps to reduce dependence on expensive agrochemicals and other inputs, and provides resilience against major pest outbreaks or climatic shifts. And when farmers produce for local (as opposed to export) markets, their customer base diversifies considerably, encouraging them to plant a wider range of crops. In this way, way, crop diversity reinforces self-sufficiency self-sufficiency.. “Navdanya is one of many, many movements at the local level,” Mittal says, “ where people have realized how dire the situation has gotten, and are responding to the loss of biodiversity, the erosion of their environment, the destruction of their livelihoods.” In India alone, she says, there are hundreds. But she also points to the Long March Against GMOs in Thailand (working for local control over biodiversity and greater respect for local crop varieties) or the Landless Workers Movement in Brazil (working to rectify the glaring land distribution in Brazil by settling landless workers and farmers on the land of large landholders). Of course, as Mittal would agree, a certain amount of food trade is natural and beneficial. But greater selfsufficiency can help buffer nations against fickle international markets, generate wealth and jobs at home, and avoid dependence on distant countries and companies that may not always be reliable.

FOOT SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTION The Farmers Diner isn’t rebuilding Vermont agriculture single-handedly. Instead, this knight’s tale depends on an array of supporting characters. The Vermont

 

Land Trust runs one of the few successful programs in the United States to give a head start to beginning farmers by providing low-interest loans, mentoring, and tax relief. Vermonters now use at least three forms of  local currency—Burlington Bread, Green Mountain Dollars, and Buffalo Co-op Bucks—that can only be used to buy Vermont-grown food. And the Intervale Foundation in Burlington has helped to establish a community farm that provides food to over 350 families. It has also developed a network of farms that supply the local hospital with most of its vegetables, fruit, and herbs, and has plans for a community incubator kitchen where farmers and food entrepreneurs entrepreneurs can tr y  their hand at food processing and catering businesses. Hundreds of Vermont restaurants already “source” much of their food from nearby farmers and food businesses, largely as a result of the efforts effor ts of the Vermont Fresh Network (VFN), the six-year-old nonprofit devoted to strengthening Vermont agriculture. All of  these agreements are based on handshakes, the group’s Nina Thompson explains. A restaurant has to have at least three different handshake agreements to maintain membership in our network. Every farmer has to have at least one agreement. VFN produces a monthly “Fresh Sheet” listing all the produce available from local farmers and providing both one-stop shopping for chefs and one-stop marketing for farmers. But it has also discovered that many farmers and restaurateurs r estaurateurs are duplicating each others’ efforts. “In one case, three nearby  farmers were doing three separate deliveries of different products to the same town, all selling to different buyers,” Thompson explains. “Now they share a vehicle, do just one trip between them, and get wider distribution by piggybacking on each other’s customers.” The need for this sort of assistance appears to be  widespread,  widespre ad, since similar efforts are are unfolding in south western England, where Devon Devon County County Foodlinks has been working since 1998 to connect local growers and local food outlets. On an annual budget of less than  £500,000, this government-funded effort has created an estimated 150 new jobs, 15 farmers’ markets, and 18 “box schemes” (food delivery subscriptions known as CSAs in the United States). It has also spawned many successful food businesses and helped to retain an estimated £9 million in the local economy. In Devon, as in Vermont, the need for action by government or local groups is clear clear.. “We are making ‘interventions’ to address local market failures,” says Foodlinks founder Ian Hutchcroft, “because the private sector is not investing in local food businesses in a major way, way, and, in many ways, the cards are stacked against them.” Thompson shares this sentiment: “Lobbyists are  working for everything else. There is no special interest group.” But while the advocates of local food production aren’t a major lobby group, they are gaining

support from a growing segment of the population, a segment that potentially includes every person who plants a home garden, every farmer who wants to sell food to his neighbors, every parent who cares about the th e food served in school cafeterias, and every family that takes the time to eat home-cooked food together—all people performing small but powerful acts of rebellion against food that is increasingly transformed, sterilized, and removed from its source.

That segment also includes the 50 or so people crammed into the Farmers Diner on this winter day, not to mention the founder of the diner himself. Murphy   was born on a dairy farm in Connecticut, Connecticut, but laments the fact that his family sold off the last of the animals  well before he had a chance to try his his own hand at farming. “I’ve spent the last 33 years trying to get back to farming, ” he says. He has started a 100-sheep dairy   with his wife, and hopes that one day his cheese and lamb will be on the diner’s menu. Brian Halweil is a Senior Researcher at the World-  World-  watch Institute.
