Fork in the Road | Vivian Sorenson on Fox 8 | Saving Our Local Food System
What happens when the industrial food system fails? Our co-director, Vivian Sorenson, sat down with Fox 8 to discuss the inspiring and challenging stories captured in our documentary, "Fork in the Road". Vivian dives into the ingenuity of farmers who refuse to give up, the vital role of organizations like The Berry Center, and the philosophy of Wendell Berry. The conversation also highlights the organic connection of Nick Offerman to the project. The heart behind the film is simple: shedding light on small to medium-sized farmers, the non-profits that support them, and the chefs finding creative workarounds to survive against large-scale industrial agriculture. From the challenges faced by dairy farmers in Kentucky to urban gardening in New York City, the film is a celebration of ingenuity and the resilience of those who keep farming. The interview emphasizes the urgent need to move away from fragile global supply chains and return to a more localized, sustainable way of eating.
