Green Tuesdays Film and Lecture Series
February 21st, 6:30 pm
Film: Fresh (70 mins)
“Fresh” celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity.
Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet. Among several main characters, "Fresh" features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book, "The Omnivore’s Dilemma;" and supermarket owner, David Ball, challenging our Wal-Mart dominated economy.
This event is cosponsored by OWLS (Oregon Working to Live Sustainably) and the Oregon Public Library.
