The Future of Local Food: Screening of "Good Food"

Transition Santa Cruz is hosting a series of events in January on the Future of Local Food.

** Local Food Movie Night **

We will watch the newly-released film "Good Food," documenting the inspiring rise of local organic farming in the Pacific Northwest, then hear from local farmer Darryl Wong, of Freewheelin' Farms, about how we are doing in our region with locally produced food. Plenty of time for Q and A.

Then we will move to a panel of local food experts including Ildi Carlisle-Cummins from CAFF, Mark Lipson from OFRF, Jim Cochran of Swanton Berry Farms, Deborah Yashar of ALBA, and Michael Olsen of Food Chain Radio. This will be an interactive evening with the discussion guided by audience questions.
