Volunteer Steward needed for Alemany Natives

Help Alemany Farm:
Find over 70 species of San Francisco native plants, enhancing the habitat resources for birds, butterflies, herps & other species, at the center of the farm, while also providing opportunities for visitors to learn about native plants, local ecologies, and how to increase habitat value in agricultural practices, landscaping, and in the urban environment.

As the volunteer managing the area may be leaving the city, we need committed, reliable, and inspired people to volunteer to manage this area asap! If interested, please contact Iris at alemanynatives (at) gmail (dot) com, 415-312-2214

What is this blog?

This blog chronicles the making of the movie "In Search of Good Food", as well as events and topics relating to the movie.

In Search of Good Food follows Antonio Roman-Alcalá, an urban farming activist from San Francisco, on his search for the "sustainable" food system in California.

The film attempts to answer the question: does the sustainable food system actually exist? And if it doesn't, what is preventing it from becoming reality?

Built off of footage from a two-month trip around the state in early 2008, In Search of Good Food features interviews with farmers, farmworkers, wildlife advocates, cultural biologists, university professors, historians, educators, grassroots groups, organic foods distributors, the CA secretary of agriculture, and many others who form the various arms of this movement to ensure an ongoing supply of healthy, ecologically and locally-produced, economically affordable food for all Californians.

Mixing street interviews with food consumers; the perspectives and stories of advocates; animations; and footage of both the bucolic countryside and hectic city, In Search of Good Food presents both a compelling argument for the need for a better food system, and incisive criticism of the limited effectiveness of consumer-based solutions.

In Search of Good Food will make you think beyond "voting with your fork", to the real challenges and opportunities that we face in creating a safe, just, and sustainable food system that provides good food for all.

Who best to answer the questions of how to make change happen, than those working to make it happen?
