Are people better off eating organic food? Are organic farms better for the environment? Today, more than half of all Americans eat some kind of organic food.

This film takes a look at the organic food industry and examines its shortcomings. More importantly, it is exploring ways towards a truly ecological, self-supporting agricultural system with local farmers’ markets and urban farmers inspiring new solutions.
