Last week on the show we talked to Sanjay Rawal about his new film, Gather, which examines the growing food sovereignty movement among Native American tribes across the United States.
And thisweek, we are talking about why and how we need to re-invent the way that food is being grown and farmed, and the critical role that beesplay in all of this.
Our guests are Peter Nelson and Sally Roy who have made the film, The Pollinators, which tells the fascinating story of bees and beekeeping and soil and farming practices and pesticides and the EPA and almonds and why the perfect apple is not the perfect apple, andwhy we need to change the way we produce food — literally from the ground up — andwhat each of us can do to help the cause.
The Pollinators comes out tomorrow, June 16, on most digital platforms, including iTunes / AppleTV, amazon, GooglePlay, VimeoOnDemand.
