Why Nebraska Imports Most of Its Food

Why Nebraska Imports Most of Its Food

Jun 5, 2026 |

Robinette Farms co-owner Alex McKiernan joins the show to discuss local food systems, community-supported agriculture, and the challenges of building a more resilient food economy in Nebraska. We discuss why Nebraska imports much of the food it consumes despite being a leading agricultural state, the benefits of buying local food, and how farm-to-table relationships can strengthen both communities and public health. We also explore farm-to-school initiatives, the Mayor’s Local Food Challenge, food security, sustainable agriculture, and the work Robinette Farms is doing to connect consumers directly with Nebraska farmers and food producers.
