In a lot of ways, our destiny lies in the fate of our food. Do we want a chemically-fueled future of industrial products raised on the idea of ruthless efficiency at any cost? Or do we want a more home-grown tomorrow in which farms located close to our own backyards produce a seasonally-adjusted variety of plenty using sustainable methods and holistic nature-based strategies?
I'd prefer that latter vision by a long shot, and so would White Rhino, who has clued me in to a film that puts a helping of hope on our plates in this regard. It's called Greenhorns, and it's a new documentary on young farmers who have rejected factory farm agriculture in favor of something better. You can check out the trailer here and learn more about the project. It looks quite tasty in more ways than one.
