Hi Saneteers.  I am writing a report for our local farmers market and am in
the process of seeking out literature which points to a growing number of
discriminating consumers moving towards farm fresh and organic produce.  I
know that David Foot in Boom, Bust and Echo has indicated that the boomer
population is exhibiting more discriminating consumer behaviour about food
safety and freshness.  I have also seen reports citing a new revival of
consumer farmer relationships.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,
