Food for Thought, Food for Life: Susan Rockefeller/2014/22 min/Food-Agriculture
FILM DESCRIPTION: We want our food fast, convenient and cheap, but at what cost? As farms have become supersized, our environment suffers and so does the quality of our food. Food for Thought, Food for Life explains the downsides of current agribusiness practices, and brings to the table farmers, chefs, researchers, educators, and advocates who are active in the local food movement. The film is both poetic and practical; its powerful examination of the connections between our planet and our well-being is accompanied by specific strategies that protect both.

Unbroken Ground: Chris Malloy/2016/22 min/Food-Agriculture
FILM DESCRIPTION: This film explores four ways people are trying to improve our relationship to the land and oceans. We produce most of our food using methods that reduce biodiversity, damage soil and contribute to climate change. But our food can and should be a part of the solution to the environmental crisis –- produced in ways that restore our land, water and wildlife. The film tells the story of four pioneering groups working in the fields of regenerative agriculture, regenerative grazing, diversified crop development and restorative fishing.

After the films, join us for a conversation with local farmers who are practicing sustainable agriculture. Lake to Prairie Wild Ones will also help you understand the role of native plants in promoting healthy soils, retaining water and sequestering carbon. Plan to visit the action partner tables to learn how you can support local farmers, healthy soils and native wildlife. Facilitator: Celeste Flores, Lake County Outreach Coordinator for Faith in Place.
