If you eat food, you need to see the Future of Food. For more information about the film, visit www.thefutureoffood.com or www.organicconsumers.org. FOLLOWED BY: Standing at the Crossroads: A CFSA documentary video project by April Walton Standing at the Crossroads: Food & Agriculture in North Carolina puts a human face on the sustainable agriculture movement by exploring the histories, hopes and challenges of three native North Carolinian farm families. The video profiles how three farmers approach their work with the land as stewards and artisans, preserving not only our cultural heritage, but the natural resources that support it. This project examines the difficulties faced by these farm families as they stand at the crossroads of food and agriculture in North Carolina. April Walton's documentary was made possible by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a state-based program of the National Endowment for the Humanities. |
