the acceptance of EBT,

我们试点采用了电子束成像扫描系统
which is electronic food stamps.

即电子食品券[给失业者或贫民的粮票]
Food stamps used to be food stamps.

食品券过去只有单一的用途
You could in fact bring them to a Farmer's Market,

人们把粮食券带去农贸市场
hand them to a farmer, and walk away with your bag of fresh produce,

交给农民就能带走一袋新鲜的农产品
but once they went onto a credit card, this EBT card,

但一旦粮食券嵌入到电子束技术信用卡里
farmers couldn't do anything about it--until about 2005.

农民就无所作为了直至2005年
We have this hand held terminal that we use at the market.

我们在市场投入使用手持终端机
It's a credit card machine, and folks can come and use food stamps,

是一种信用卡机器人们能用食品券了
and it's worked out really well.

而且这机器还非常实用
Accessibility is a key--

获得渠道也是关键
that was sort of founding principle of CitySeed and the markets.

这是城市种子和农贸市场创办的准则
