Movie Screening: FRESH

Time:

Description: 

Georgia's Farm to Market Is Excited to Announce the Houston Summer Screening Series of the Movie FRESH, directed by Ana Sofia Joanes.

FRESH is an exhilarating look at the solutions people around the country are developing in response to the decaying American food system. FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are creating new thinking in how we approach food. 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.
