EVOLUTION OF ORGANIC Screening at Ojai Film Festival: Sunday, Nov 11, 1pm

In Collaboration with the Ojai Film Festival, the Ojai Green Coalition will be hosting a screening of the documentary film, Evolution of Organic at the Ojai Art Center.  A panel discussion with the director and local agricultural farmers and ag professionals will follow the screening, and a food and drink reception with exhibitors will immediately follow the panel discussion in the main gallery of the Art Center.

Evolution of Organic offers the story of organic agriculture, as told by those who built the movement.  The film follows the crews of agricultural rebels who created the cultural transformation in the way we grow and eat our food:  “Creating health in the soil creates health in the ecosystem creates health in the atmosphere – and it all cycles around.”
