Experts say the increase in food businesses is being driven by a variety of factors.
Description
Some food entrepreneurs, such as Caitlin James, have turned to crowdsourcing -- asking for donations online -- as a source of funding.

In exchange for contributions, donors received coupons, stickers and tote bags.
