Bob Lewis

Bob Lewis appears in A firm Andy: what are new British PM’s plans? as one of the planners behind Greenmarket. The episode says he described French-style outdoor markets where food could be picked in the morning and sold directly to the public.

The source uses Lewis to make the direct-producer logic explicit. Cutting out intermediaries helped [[NewYorkCity|New York City]] residents access fresh regional produce while giving farmers a city customer base large enough to change planting and sales decisions.
