Wednesday, August 14 at 12 noon and at 7 p.m. (potluck at 6:30) our 2nd Wednesday film will be “Ripe for Change”. This 50-minute documentary film, gives a poignant glimpse into farming trends and traditions in California over the last three decades. With every application of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, and every planting of a genetically modified (GM) crop, conventional farmers are killing the natural environment little by little. By choosing organic farming methods that protect and encourage biodiversity, sustainable farmers are directly changing their surrounding environment for the better. You vote three times a day when you choose the foods for your meals; which system will you choose to support today? Will Scott Jr. will speak at the evening showing. Wheelchair accessible. Free to the public. Call the Center at 559-237-3223 for more information Mon-Fri 11-3 559-237-3223.
