:: Film Description ::

One Man, One Cow, One Planet (56 min)

   This is not your usual doom and gloom experience - it gives great
optimism for the world and WHAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN DO. Michael Burton, New
Zealand

What does an environmentally friendly biodynamic food system capable of
feeding everyone actually look like? Across India marginal farmers are
reviving an arcane form of agriculture and exposing the bio-colonialism of
multinational corporations and their failed mantra of infinite growth in a
finite world. One Man, One Cow, One Planet  tells their story through the
teachings of an elderly New Zealander many are calling the new Gandhi.

Featuring Peter Proctor, New Zealand's father of modern biodynamics

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.

:: 'Locavore-Vegetarian Potluck' ::

Bring something to contribute to the potluck - bring enough food for
yourself/family and a bit to share. The primary focus of the 'Locavore'
potluck is to promote eating whole foods, in their nature-made state,
focusing on fresh food from local sources (or as local as possible)

If not FROM BACKYARD then locally produced.
If not LOCALLY PRODUCED, then Organic.
If not ORGANIC, then Family farm.
If not FAMILY FARM, then Local business.
If not a LOCAL BUSINESS, then Fair Trade.

our pet chickens, goats, ducks & worms.
