I'm glad to hear you say that. We do need to focus on short supply chains, among other things, but the programs are often ill suited to that.
I would also like to mention that your research, Mr. Cranfield, has often focused on consumer behaviour. We're talking about risk management, but one way to reduce those risks is also to make our local products available in our grocery stores, restaurants and shops. When you travel to states like Vermont, you can see many restaurant owners who are proud to indicate where their products come from. They say that their carrots come from this or that farm, for example.
Doesn't making our local products available make it possible to better promote them and thus reduce the risks for our farmers?
