Kitchen Gardeners International: Chart: Home-grown foods in the US

We've written thousands of words on the decrease in home food production and now here's a single picture to sum up the trend. The data comes from the US Department of Agriculture. It would be interesting to justapose this chart with other ones such as the increase in obesity and the increase in the distance food travels from field to fork. Our goal at KGI is first to stop the home food production freefall (production declined by 20% from 2004 to 2005) and over time to get the chart headed upwards. Lots of good work ahead!
