Do you know what the word Foodie means? Foodie is a term used to describe the growing number of consumers who continue to influence the food grown by America’s farmers and ranchers. As farmers and ranchers, the majority of our time is spent caring for our animals and land while focusing on producing the safest and most abundant food supply in the world.
Our industry spends a lot of time trying to engage consumers, but how much time do America’s farmers and ranchers spend focusing on trends in food consumption or marketing? I know I spend very little time focusing on this.
FoodiE-News Blog and the FoodiE-News newsletter are about highlighting trends in food consumption and marketing and is a great way for farmers and ranchers to stay informed about consumer food trends. There are a lot of great articles in the FoodiE-News Newsletter and on the blog. One article that caught my eye on the blog was about the USDA’s latest food pyramid for kids.
