Description

Three Disc CD and Two Disc DVD Set

This eye-opening Collection shows how meeting the challenges of a growing global population and degraded ecosystems facing climate change and peak oil requires fundamental systemic shifts in our food systems. It means a greatly decentralized agriculture and food system. A worldwide movement is transforming our food systems to become resilient through ecological agriculture, healthy food, local food economies, and fair food accessible to all.

These leading visionary practitioners depict models of ecological agriculture and sustainable food systems. They’re challenging the corporatization of agriculture, factory farming and GMOs. They’re creating localized foodsheds, organic foods and sound nutrition, agricultural biodiversity, urban agriculture, indigenous agriculture and food justice.
