The ills of industrial agriculture are well known. What we eat and the way we produce our food are sickening us and the planet. Movies such as Academy Award-nominated Food, Inc., Supersize Me and King Corn and writers like Michael Pollan (Botany of Desire and The Omnivore's Dilemma) and Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) have done an excellent job of describing the extent of the problem.

So now what?

Food Forward explores alternatives to our current industrial food system through the lives and passions of a vanguard of innovators; educators, scientists, farmers and chefs across America--food rebels who are fundamentally changing the way we eat.
