Fish and Wildlife agency members, politicians, and the public gather in Colchester to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Vermont’s Duck Stamp. A spin-off of the Federal Duck Stamp Program, the Vermont program has purchased thousands of acres of land for habitat conservation by selling duck stamps. Not only does the service conserve the land, it often restores the land to its original state before farming flatten fields and diverted streams. Conservationists can recreate wetlands as they did in the Monson Flats area in Colchcester in 2016. The area is now used by birds and wildlife as well as, the public for recreational activities. This wetland further serves to purify the water running through the flats to Lake Champlain. With public support of the Vermont Duck Stamp more valuable resources can be conserved.

The food you don't eat on your plate still has value as a resource with applications in other areas: on the farm, as rescued food, as feed for animals, and as anaerobic digesters.

We'll explore the challenges of managing each stage of the hierarchy and the impending complications surrounding the implementation of Act 148, Vermont's universal recycling law which also addresses composting.

- Who is the local food consumer and what are the roadblocks to getting them to eat more local? While price is the most talked about obstacle, it's only the tip of the iceberg. People who buy local food today are making a values-based purchase paying more to eat something they feel is healthier, better tasting and better for the local economy. This episode looks at how consumers arrive at the decision to eat local, and how to shift the conversation away from price and toward the benefits of making that buying decision.

Institutions such as schools, universities, camps, hospitals and prisons are places where the food consumer often doesn't have much choice. This is food intended to feed large volumes, and has to do so with typically small per capita budgets, USDA nutritional requirements and limited labor and equipment resources. To reach Farm to Plate goals in increasing local consumption, these institutions need to choose local food for their consumer. We'll look at the paths to bringing local food into institutions and the passionate individuals committed to making Farm to Institution a reality.

Episode 1 examines these goals, looking at how Vermont currently eats, the supply and demand challenges, and how much land would be needed to attain long-term goals.
