Event Description
At the focal point of this movement, and of this film, are the
farmers and chefs who are creating a truly sustainable food system.
Their collaborative work has resulted in great tasting
food and an explosion of consumer awareness about the benefits of
eating local.
Attention being paid to the local food movement comes
at a time when the failings of our current industrialized food system
are becoming all too clear. For the first time in
history, our children’s generation is expected to have a shorter
lifespan than our own. The quality, taste and nutritional value of
the food we eat has dropped sharply over the last fifty
years. Shipped from ever-greater distances, we have literally lost
sight of where our food comes from and in the process
we've lost a vital connection to our local community and to our
health.- Description from film website
