Food trends 2013 - Innovation Kitchen video

We need more small scale, professionally managed food processing facilities and related business services.  It's the missing link.  This model make good community jobs and solves problems for small farms, consumers and communities. 

I see this issue every day.  The Innovation Kitchen model - one that emphasizes small, professionally staffed food processing and business services - can take problems for food entrepreneurs and small farms and turn them into profitable, sustainable solutions.

There's my food trend for 2013.  Food entrepreneurs and small farms - start your engines!
