We all know that bread is made from wheat and that a steak comes from a beef animal. But grain in the fields and cattle in the feedlot are useless as food until they are harvested, processed and packaged. The gap between farm table is filled by a network of pro- cessors, marketers and distributors. The new senior 4-1-1 project, Farm to Table, will investigate all aspects of this agri-food network. In Ontario, about 20 per cent of the popula- tion is employed in some aspect of the agriculture and food business. Therefore, many of. today's 4-H members will become part of this figure and should have a better understanding of how itall fits together. The project, open to all young people bet- ween the ages of 16 and 21 years, will consist of five meetings and a field trip. Topics in- clude food production, processing, preser- vation, packaging, advertising, distribution and research. • Members will also learn about new product development and food exports and imports. For more information on how you can get involved with Farm to Table as either a member or leader, contact -Richard Hamilton at 482-3428 or 1-800-265-5170.
