DESCRIPTION:\nFilm evenings begin with potluck refreshments & social hour at  6:30 
 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after the 
 film.\n\nRIPE FOR CHANGE\nby Emiko Omori\n\nThis fascinating documentary 
 explores the intersection of food and politics in California over the last 
 30 years.  It illuminates the complex forces struggling for control of the 
 future of California’s agriculture, and provides provocative commentary 
 by a wide array of eloquent farmers, prominent chefs, and noted authors and 
 scientists.  The film examines a host of thorny questions:  What are the 
 trade-offs between the ability to produce large quantities of food versus 
 the health of workers, consumers, and the planet?  What are the hidden 
 costs of “inexpensive” food?  How do we create sustainable agricultural 
 practices?\n\nThrough the “window” of food and agriculture, this film 
 reveals two parallel yet contrasting views of our world.  One holds that 
 large-scale agriculture, genetic engineering, and technology promise a 
 hunger-free future.  The other calls for a more organic, sustainable, and 
 locally focused style of farming that reclaims the aesthetic and nurturing 
 qualities of food and considers the impact of agriculture on the 
 environment, on communities, and on workers.\n\nWheelchair accessible 
 around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n\n \n
