Organic Nation: Exploring America’s Sustainable Food Landscape

EarthFirst.com’s own managing editor, Dorothee Royal-Hedinger, is setting out on a tour of the Midwest and West Coast with her new project Organic Nation. Organic Nation is an exploration of the American sustainable food landscape focusing on the people, places and products that are shaping a new green economy and lifestyle.

From OrganicNation.tv:

We’ll be exploring such fundamental questions as: What does “organic” mean and how are products certified? What do scientists say about the risks of chemical pesticides and fertilizers on human health? What are the costs of switching to organic production and is it affordable for farmers and consumers? Is organic better than local or vice-versa? Can organic food production feed the nation and is it truly sustainable?

Check out the trailer below:
