At one point in the film, a weary Peterson considers leaving his long hours and low pay. "It's not bringing in a lot of money," his mother responds, "but it's a way of life." That way of life (to say nothing of the environment) has been all but destroyed by large-scale agribusiness. As an antidote, sustainable agriculture is, above all, an economic, agronomic, and supply-chain model. Implementing this model will take a concerted, cooperative effort, and we'll need all the allies we can get.

The Real Dirt on Farmer John is scheduled for a theatrical release in mid-November. For information on upcoming screenings, to schedule a viewing for your organization, or to place an advance order for the DVD, go to www.therealdirtonfarmerjohn.com.
