-Daniel’s Definition: An interpretation of food and a perspective on the world that emphasis uniqueness of place including the human culture, history, and practices associated with that place. It can exist in many systems on many scales from a value added designation in global capitalism to a personal appreciation of place, ecosystems, and food.
Bonnie’s Definition: Terroir is the understanding and appreciation of food and where it comes from. It’s becoming aware of everything that specific food has gone through before it’s put on your plate, but also being conscious of everything you have experienced before you reach for that plate.
