According to the NYC nonprofit Just Food, corporate pressure to “get big or get out” has led to the loss of 67% of US farms since 1920. In her documentary “The Future of Food,” Deborah Koons Garcia, widow of the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, takes a closer look at the US's ever increasing economic, political, and genetic concentration of food production. She’s joined by Ruth Reichl, Editor-in-Chief of Gourment magazine and Dan Barber, the chef/founder of Blue Hill restaurant in New York City and the Creative Director at Stone Barns Center For Food & Agriculture in Tarrytown, New York.
