Increasingly the Health and Nutrition Specialists are turning to Certified Farmers Markets, CSA's, Farmers Market, Local Food Hubs, as major lifestyle and policy promotion remedies for the Obesity and Diabetes Pandemic in the US.
At the same time, every year the number of Certified Farmers Markets increases and the average age of the farmer also increases.The average age of the American Farmer is 57 (63 for Black Americans).
The ratio of farmers 55 and older to 35 and younger is 18 to 1. Half of all American Farmers are expected to retire in the next 10 years.
