Kathleen Merrigan (deputy secretary of the USDA), writing at The Atlandtic:
When the farmer, the packer, the wholesaler, and the retailer all prosper in the same region, it creates opportunity for home-grown jobs, draws more people into agriculture, and fosters relationships between the people who buy food and the people who grow it.
