Do you know whether or not you live in an edible city? According to a 2010 study by the USDA, almost 15% of households in the United States still suffer from food insecurity. What changes–small and big–can you make to address this issue?
If you’re interested in learning more on current issues in the US food movement today, join Evolver Bay Area for the screening of Edible City, a 90 minute documentary film that asks:
- How can we live in cities and still eat local, healthy, sustainable food?
- How can we create jobs, build economies, and increase food insecurity at the same time?
- How can we create food systems that are economically, socially, and environmentally just?
Edible City follows ten extraordinary stories exploring what’s going on in the food movement today, from the grassroots growth to the politics in Washington, D.C., from Occupy Oakland to creating community resiliency and local economic infrastructure.
Q&A to follow the screening with filmmakers Andrew Hasse and Carl Grether.
