NEW MOVIE explores the influence of industrial farming on Organic production

– – – – – 

After recent Soil-to-Table articles re: Walmart’s commitment to Organic foods, Whole Foods growing presence, and general consumer awareness that the only alternative to conventional production is USDA Organic (fka industrialized Organics) – a few of our readers suggested I share a link to this newly released movie on Netflix and Amazon Instant: In Organic we Trust.  

“In Organic We Trust” is an eye-opening food documentary that looks beyond organic for practical solutions for me (from the director) and you. Local farmer’s markets, school gardens, and urban farms are revolutionizing the way we eat. Change is happening from the soil up.

When corporations went into the business and “organic” became a brand, everything changed. The philosophy and the label grew apart. Can gummy bears or bananas flown halfway across the world truly be organic?

From the S2T mailing curator:  Believing broader adoption of Organic food is an essential next step for the masses to think more about their sustenance, I think less synthetics & pesticides, no GMOs, no growth hormones & antibiotics in proteins and so much more that are built into Organic – local or industrial – is nothing but a good next step. I agree with this movie – the only future of food production is via regional sustainable agriculture, but as learned with alternative energy production, we must have a better strategy, a better plan to enact change with scale or we’ll further set back all better food initiatives.
