Sustainable Stockton Film Series: Fresh
The documentary, Fresh, will be shown at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 11th at the MREA. Fresh celebrates the people across America who are re-thinking how our food is grown, processed and marketed. The film starts with the story of the rapid transformation of farming from the way it was practiced by early settlers in Wisconsin to the industrial model it has now become. The consequences of that transformation (food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources) are touched on in the film but the focus of Fresh is on healthier, sustainable alternatives for our food system. This film is open to the public and admission is free. Popcorn will be provided by Sustainable Stockton. Bring your own beverage.
