Brittany’s top picks for foodie-movies, Summer 2015 Brittany, the unofficial MPL Netflix Guru and foodie-movie buff TedTalks are a great resource and they are short. One idea is listing a 60 minute event on the calendar that starts with one of these TedTalks followed by a discussion. https://www.ted.com/playlists/75/what_s_wrong_with_what_we_eat Here are a list of food documentaries. This (*) means Brittany has seen it, and this (**) means she highly recommends it. I also hyperlinked the title to go to the IMDB page that features trailers so your team/residents can decide what they are most interested in. 1. **Food Inc. – focuses on the food industry in the US 2. Food Fight – political documentary about organic food 3. *Sushi: The Global Catch – history of sushi and how it’s popularity (specifically Blue Fin Tuna) is unsustainable 4. Farmageddon – this is about the healing experience of individuals who’ve switched to natural foods and the resistance they face from the government 5. **Somm – this is about the Master Sommelier exam. One of my favorite documentaries, although it wouldn’t necessarily encourage healthier eating J 6. *Super Size Me – Morgan Spurlock lived off of McDonald’s for a month – shows his decline in health 7. *Vegucated – This focuses mainly on the cruelty to animals in our food system. Definitely bias and political. It’s the reason I don’t eat meat anymore. 8. **Forks Over Knives – Great documentary about the plant-based eating 9. *King Corn – this focuses on GMO’s and government kickback for big crops like corn 10. ** Hungry for Change – this is a documentary about food and health 11. More Than Honey - An in-depth look at honeybee colonies in California, Switzerland, China and Australia. 12. *Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead – a powerful documentary about juicing to heal 13. **Fed Up – fabulous movie about the amount of sugar consumed by Americans .

The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen
Reading and Learning Guide The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen 1 | St. Cloud State Common Reading Program2016- 17 About the Book The Good Food Revolution traces the journey of Will Allen from professional basketball player and executive with Kentucky Fried Chicken and Procter and Gamble to a preeminent urban farmer in inner-city Milwaukee and founder of an internationally recognized organization called Growing Power. Having cashed in his retirement fund to purchase a two-acre plot outside of the city’s largest public housing project, Allen sets out on a mission to transform an urban food desert into a vibrant community organization that provides high-quality, healthy and affordable food to the community as well as jobs and educational opportunities for vulnerable youths. The book follows the evolution of what began as a small, one-man enterprise and quickly grew into a robust organization through a series of small, but meaningful decisions he made, each out of a desire to make a difference in the community. Today, Growing Power is a robust, internationally-recognized leader in sustainable urban farming and the food security movement and works with organizations throughout the country to develop community food systems. About the Author Will Allen (b. 1949) is the son of South Carolina sharecroppers who moved to Maryland during the Great Migration to start a new life. From state basketball championships to becoming the first African-American basketball player for the University of Miami, Allen followed a path that led to turning pro after graduating with a degree in education. His pro basketball career took him to Belgium where he found himself getting back to his roots, growing food for his family and teammates in the fashion of local families on small plots, and igniting his own passion for sustainable farming.

As We Sow Why Should the Displacement and Disappearance Of
As We Sow Why should the displacement and disappearance of family farms matter to people outside of the isolated rural countryside of America's heartland? As We Sow searches for answers from people on the front lines of what some call "the last farm crisis." Dirt--The Movie DIRT! The Movie--directed and produced by Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow--takes you inside the wonders of the soil. It tells the story of Earth's most valuable and underappreciated source of fertility--from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation Farmegeddon Americans’ right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. Farmageddon tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why. Flow Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. Food Fight Food Fight is a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement has created a counter-revolution against big agribusiness. Food Matters With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and our tendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what's wrong with our malnourished bodies, it's no wonder that modern society is getting sicker.

Films and Documentaries On
Films and Documentaries from A-Z …Agricultural Policy and Seed (Policy), …Conventional vs. Organic Farming, …the World Food Crisis, …Contexts of Farming, …Indigenous Practices and Knowledges Vienna, March 2015 FILM LIST (German version below) As investigative movies about our food system are highly in vogue, we decided to create a listing of films available on these topics, trying to steer a little in the opposite direction as these films tend to have a narrow focus on the US: That is why we decided to acquire a broader focus, concerning the topics, but also geography. Background: Global food chains, industrialised food production, the liberalisation of economies and privatisation of common goods like land, water and seeds: The global food production has been radically transformed in the past decades. These transformations changed the modes of agricultural production, decreased global seed diversity and modified (inter-) national laws and farmers’ rights (as to save and exchange seeds), especially in the Global South. The so-called Green Revolution provided a motor for globalizing the concept of agribusiness, including the extensive introduction of mono-crops, pesticides and hybrids, following a narrative of “fighting world hunger”. Today big corporations advocate for “better seeds” and GMO with the alleged aim to “feed the world”. Intellectual and “real” property rights – sometimes seen as a new kind of colonialism (“biopiracy”, “landgrabbing”), climate change, conflict and hunger: All these issues intersect when we look at farming and seeds at a global level. Our film list maps out documentaries, features and short animations on agricultural and seed policy, conventional vs. organic farming, the world food crisis, contexts of farming and indigenous practices & knowledge.

Towards an Islamic Basis for Veganism
RESEARCH ARTICLE Towards an Islamic Basis for Veganism Zinnira Shaikh ABSTRACT The issue of animal abuse has been ignored for far too long, especially by Muslim scholars. Our treatment of animals is inextricably linked to ecological imbalance and climate change. The unchecked abuse of the Earth and non-human animals has been justified with an anthropocentric worldview, based on the Kantian and Cartesian Enlightenment philosophy in the case of secular Western ethics, as well as on the anthropocentric readings of the Qur’an in the case of Islamic thought and practice. Unfortunately, Islamic discourse on animals has centered on a Shari’a-based approach, which is limited to handing out legal opinions on permissibility and prohibition. To fully address the issues that Shari’a-based approaches have failed to resolve, there is an urgent need to adopt an ethics-based approach that encourages constant moral improvement in our dealings with animals and the environment. This paper examines the ethics of meat-eating in a world that spells the death of not only animals but also forests, oceans, and the Earth. With a focus on the personal moral responsibility of Muslims towards the Earth and its inhabitants, this paper examines Received 20 Mar 2019; accepted: 3 Apr 2019; published September 2020 © 2020 The Author(s), HBKU College of Islamic Studies.
