Annie Leonard and The Story of Stuff Project want you to know about this great new video (below) by Anna Lappe’, “Do we really need industrial agriculture to feed the world?”
Does the world’s food supply require big-ag farms, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers or can traditional eco-friendly methods used on small local family farms fill the needs of our ever growing population? This six and a half minute video, produced through Stuff Projects Free Range Studios, walks us through the answer to this question.
Anna Lappe’ is the author of Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It, and is a strong advocate for ecological responsibility and the benefits of sustainable foods. Her mother, Frances Moore Lappe’, introduced many of us to the advantages of a low or no meat diet in her book, Diet for a Small Planet. Anna has, through her efforts as an activist, author, and speaker, reached people all over the world with the message of personal responsibility in caring for our planet.
This eye-opening video is the first in a series, and is designed to inform and persuade us on the need for ecological responsibility in food production now and in the future. Also check them out on Facebook and Twitter.
