What Will We Eat? (Trailer)

What Will We Eat? is a new 26 minute film that reveals the growing crisis in industrial agriculture and how a grassroots coalition of consumers and small farmers is inventing a healthy, humane, homegrown alternative.

Filmed primarily in West Michigan, What Will We Eat? focuses on the success of the Sweetwater Local Foods Market in Muskegon Michigans first farmers market to exclusively sell local produce raised according to organic standards and products from animals raised humanely. The story is told through the voices and experiences of small farmers and their customers.

What Will We Eat? is a story of hope

of how communities can address the expanding health problems associated with bad nutrition by developing an organic local food supply,

of how small farmers can prosper by growing for local consumers concerned about health, ethical values, and the environment,

how Michigan can grow a new sustainable economy by simply being intentional about local food grown to healthy and humane standards.

Its filmmaker, Chris Bedford, is winner of three dozen awards for creative excellence in film and video production.

Answer: We'll eat whatever's for sale in the shops.

Supermarkets are the driving force here.

Control the supermarkets to control the provenance of produce that they offer us.

Don't blame farmers, they're just price takers growing for the market.
