Thanks are also owed to the rest of the Frommer’s team, who worked their usual magic in transforming a manuscript into a book. I am also grate- ful to my mother, Sheila Davidson, who is always ready to help and yet never makes me feel guilty for taking advantage of her highly skilled—yet unpaid—labor. Finally, I owe a heartfelt thanks to my husband, Dan, whose sense of humor and tireless enthusiasm car- ried me throughout this project.

Op basis van interviews met het centrum van Nederland. deskundigen en gegevens van de belangrijkste lokale initiatieven voor voedseldistributie, wordt geschat dat de landbouw in de regio Utrecht maximaal 5% van al het geconsumeerde voedsel in de regio levert. De regio Utrecht speelt dus een geringe rol als voedselleverancier aan zijn consumenten. Landbouw in de regio Utrecht bestaat grotendeels uit grasland voor de melkveehouderij. Een kleiner aantal bedrijven produceert fruit, voornamelijk appels en peren, aardappelen, tarwe en suikerbieten. Groente productie is schaars. Landbouw in de regio Utrecht is relatief kleinschalig en kent een vergrijzende boerenbevolking.
