About this listen

The source, a transcript from the YouTube video "What Are Food Hubs? - Your Civil Rights Guide," explains the function and importance of food hubs in the agricultural system. Food hubs are described as centralized operations that connect small to mid-sized farmers with broader markets by managing the aggregation, storage, processing, and distribution of local food. Crucially, the source details how these hubs advance civil rights and food justice by improving equitable access to fresh, affordable produce, particularly in underserved communities and food deserts. Furthermore, they work to reduce transportation and economic barriers for both producers and consumers, empowering marginalized farmers and strengthening local economies through community-led initiatives.
