Event Description
FREE EVENT!
"FRESH"; a new documentary that celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet. Hosted by CPCC's Center for Sustainability and Slow Food Charlotte.
After the film, hear what local experts think from our panel discussion.
