DESCRIPTION:The evening begins with an optional social hour and pot luck supper at 6:30 
 pm,\nfollowed by the film at 7:30 pm, followed by a discussion at the end 
 of the film.\n\nHOW TO SAVE THE WORLD\nOne Man One Cow One Planet\n\nThis 
 relatively new documentary, 2008, explores the revolution in food 
 production called "biodynamic farming."  At first glance the task of saving 
 the world appears to have fallen on an unlikely candidate.  Peter Proctor 
 is 80 years old but has single handedly spearheaded his farming movement in 
 India.  It has literally altered that vast nation’s agricultural 
 landscape.  Peter is a latter day Johnny Appleseed;  he takes his solution 
 to one farm at a time.  He has traveled all over the world teaching farmers 
 how to create better food by creating better soil.  He is rather a 
 biodynamic phenomenon in his own right and finds it difficult to find 
 people half his age able to keep up with him.  This farming revolution is 
 over 100 years in the making.  The true father of biodynamic farming, 
 Rudolph Steiner (also the founder of the Waldorf school) was born in 1861.  
 It is Steiner’s principles that Peter dusted off and applied in the 
 Indian subcontinent.  The film also examines where our own American food 
 comes from and how much autonomy we have sacrificed at the altar of 
 convenience.  We seem not to have a problem with buying food products 
 rather than food.  The choice to be made is whether to have giant 
 agribusinesses decide what we eat -- and live with chronic disease -- or to 
 grow and eat our own food and be healthy.  Peter Proctor has helped 
 thousands of farmers not by railing against the problem but by living the 
 solution.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th
