New TV Show (hopefully) - Food Forward

Grist.org recently posted an article about a new TV show in the works called Food Forward. As the show's website describes, "Food Forward is a series of thirteen, 30-minute episodes exploring new ideas of food in America as told by the people who are living them. Each episode will focus on a different theme--school lunch reform, urban agriculture, commercial fishing, grass-fed beef, soil science--and spotlight the real people who are creating viable alternatives to how we grow food and feed ourselves."

The show's producers, San Francisco-based food journalist Stett Holbrook and documentary filmmakers Todd Dayton and Greg Roden, are in the process of raising money to shoot the pilot episode of Food Forward, and will host a fundraising dinner in San Francisco to help support the production of the show.

See trailer below, which is quite beautiful at parts and features an urban farmer, a school-food reformer, a Santa Cruz fisherman, and a grass-fed beef rancher.
