At the focal point of this movement, and of this film, are the farmers and chefs who are creating a truly sustainable food system. Their collaborative work has resulted in great tasting food and an explosion of consumer awareness about the benefits of eating local. Attention being paid to the local food movement comes at a time when the failings of our current industrialized food system are becoming all too clear. For the first time in history, our children's generation is expected to have a shorter lifespan than our own. The quality, taste and nutritional value of the food we eat has dropped sharply over the last fifty years. Shipped from ever-greater distances, we have literally lost sight of where our food comes from and in the process, we've lost a vital connection to our local community and to our health.

This won’t work unless large numbers of people can go back to being farmers and leave their pointless lives in bullshit jobs sitting at a computer looking at Facebook all day. We would have to pay farmers a real wage again and pay more for healthy food that tastes great and doesn’t kill us. It sounds like a beautiful future and I’ve been contemplating and wishing that could happen for humanity a lot recently. I recommend the documentary Ingredients if you haven’t seen it. It’s on Tubi for free. It changed the way I look at food and the world.
