7. 1) View http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile?dDocName=STELPRDC5088011&acct=wdmgeninfo and explain what a regional food hub is and why they are essential to sustainable agriculture and food distribution. 2) Go to http://www.harfordfarms.com/ and explain where you would find USDA approved organic poultry, beef, and vegetables closest to John Carroll. 3) Write a proposal for the JC cafeteria for a "JC Sustainable Food Day"; plan out where they could acquire organic foods and how they (and you) could help educate the school community on the issue of sustainable agriculture.

A regional food hub is a facility that stores, processes, distributes, and/or markets produced food products.
They have expanded market opportunities, job creations in rural areas, and an increased access of healthy foods for consumers.

3) JC Sustainable Food Day


John Carroll should have a sustainable Food Day! We can educate the students and eat healthy food by telling students facts about food. We could even have a presentation like the one for diabetes. It will make students interested in eating healthier. We can put the organic food in the cafeteria and serve it for lunch. We can educate the students about the issue of sustainable agriculture.
