ABOUT THE FILM: 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. Listen to an interview with FRESH film director Ana Sofia Joanes by Marla Camp on the Edible Communities Show on Heritage Radio Network on Monday, July 20, 4–5 pm (and archived after show date).
