Happy Earth Day! Did you know that half of the land in the USA is dedicated to agriculture? While many Americans may still picture farms as having a small red barn, tucked away in the countryside, among rolling green hills where animals are free to roam, our agricultural systems have changed dramatically in the past sixty years. "The Food Fight," our micro-documentary film, tells the story of a small farm fighting to survive in an industry that has become dominated by corporations that prioritize profit above public health, the environment, and animal welfare. Learning about where your food comes from and being able to make the best choices for yourself and the planet is a great way to celebrate Earth today!
