FRESH - New Thinking About What We're Eating
FRESH is more than a movie, it’s a gateway to action. The producers' aim is to help grow FRESH food, ideas, and become active participants in an exciting, vibrant, and fast-growing movement.
FRESH provides us with a way forward from the industrialised food production systems portrayed in FOOD INC.
FRESH profiles the farmers, thinkers, and business people who are at the forefront of re-inventing food production in America. With a strong commitment to sustainability, they are changing how farms are run, how the land is cared for, and how food is distributed. Their success demonstrates that a new paradigm based on sustainable practices can be profitable and a model for our food system, if people choose to support it. Inspirational and positive people promoting a sustainable future relevant not only in America but worldwide as industrialisation of our food production and distribution systems corrupts our environment, economies and health.
