This is the story of farmers Jeff and Annie Main, their Good Humus Farm and how they are planning to preserve it as a working, organic farm for future generations. After the film, Chuck will lead a discussion about issues farmers encounter in staying on the land and what we can help them do about them.

“The Future of Food” Time to Act on GMOs October 21, 2011, Palo Alto
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are sprouting up throughout in our food supply. Meanwhile, government and agribusiness are like foxes guarding the hen house - promoting more GMOs while completely ignoring the potential risks.
It’s time to act! On October 21, we’ll be showing “The Future of Food,” a powerful and influential film on what has happened to our food supply. In follow-on discussion, we’ll let you know about the efforts to label GMOs and how you can get involved.
