Farmers' markets: an American success story
- Eco-logic Books, 1998
In 1974 there were fewer than 300 markets across the US, now there are over 2,400. Each market reflects its local unique heritage and with over 1 million people visiting Farmers' Markets every week and over 20,000 farmers selling their local produce, they are a definitive success story. Harriet Festing, from the University of London, Wye College has spent 5 years researching and documenting this phenomena and by providing facts and figures, and numerous case studies she explores the subject in fascinating detail.
