Food Forward

Food Forward: Urban Agriculture Across America is a half-hour, character-driven survey of urban farming across the country. In the pilot, we meet the food rebels who are growing food right where we live--in cities.

The U.S. of Agriculture

24m 40s

From the Founding Farmers to the modern Farm Bill, what has 200 years of progress brought to the table? More food at lower prices for sure, but also food fights over the environment, hunger, nutrition, and waste. In this closing episode of Food Forward, politicians, policy watchdogs and food experts take us on a personal tour through the history of food and agriculture in America.
