May 2010 > "What's Organic About Organic?" screening in ocala
"What's Organic About Organic?", a film co-produced by and starring Florida Organic Growers Executive Director Marty Mesh, will be screened at 3 p.m. May 15 in Ocala during the 2nd Organic Food & Film Festival organized by Natural Awakenings Magazine of North Central Florida. Also screened that day will be Food, Inc. at 11 a.m. and The Future of Food at 1 p.m. FOG staff will be tabling outside the theatre, and Marty will answer questions after the screening. Admission is $5 per person/per film.
With charm and humanity, "What's Organic About Organic?" leads viewers to examine how organic farming has evolved from a grassroots movement into a multi-billion dollar international industry. Through the stories of farmers who steward land from Harlem to the foothills of the Rockies, from upstate New York to Florida, the film reveals what's at stake in creating and maintaining meaningful standards for organic production to protect citizen interests, to heal the environment, and to maintain the livelihoods of family farmers.
