With special guests Melissa Young and Mark Dworkin, makers of the film Good Food
Something remarkable is happening in the fields and orchards of the Pacific Northwest. After leaving the land for decades, family farmers are making a comeback. They are growing much healthier food, and more food per acre, while using less energy and water than factory farms. And most of this food is organic. For decades Northwest agriculture was focused on a few big crops for export. But climate change and the end of cheap energy mean that each region needs to produce more of its own food and to grow it more sustainably. Good Food visits farmers, farmers’ markets, distributors, stores, restaurants and public officials who are developing a more sustainable food system for all.
On this special evening, join filmmakers Melissa Young and Mark Dworkin for an engaging and personal discussion of what local food means in their community and yours. To view the trailer, go to www.goodfoodthemovie.org. $8 member, $10 non-member pre-registered. Walk-ins: $15, space available. Proceeds benefit the Grow Local Colorado campaign and Denver Botanic Gardens. In Mitchell Hall.
