About the Film: Our existence on this planet is precarious. Directed and produced by Thomas and Barbara Burstyn, One Man, One Cow, One Planet (2007, 56 min.) exposes globalization and its mantra of infinite growth in a finite world for what it really is: an environmental and human disaster. But across India marginal farmers are fighting back. By reviving an arcane form of agriculture, they are saving their poisoned lands and exposing the bio-colonialism of multinational corporations. This documentary tells their story through the teachings of biodynamic agriculture from an elderly New Zealander, Peter Proctor, many are calling the new Gandhi. What does an environmentally sustainable food system capable of feeding everyone actually look like? This film, which is a blueprint for a post-industrial future, takes you into the heart of the world's most important renaissance. The outcome of the battle for agricultural control in India may just dictate the future of the earth.
About the Potluck: For the vegetarian potluck, participants are encouraged to contribute food produced within a 100-mile radius of their homes (Santa Barbara to San Diego). If that?s not possible, then strive to purchase organic foods grown within the closest distance.
About Path to Freedom Sponsoring organization Path to Freedom is a family-operated, viable urban homesteading project established by Jules Dervaes in 2001 to promote a simpler and more fulfilling lifestyle and to sow a ?homegrown revolution ?? against the corporate powers that control the food supply. Since the mid?1980s, members of the Dervaes family have steadily worked at transforming their ordinary city lot in Pasadena into a thriving organic garden that supplies them with food all year round. These ecopioneers also run a successful business providing salad greens to local restaurants. This helps them fund their purchases of solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and a biodiesel processor to further decrease their homestead's reliance on the earth?s non-renewable resources.
