Testimonials

“The event overall proved to be very successful in getting residents engaged and resulted in identifying new partners who are excited to collaborate with CCROPP on a number of food issues. … CCROPP would love to host more screenings in the Valley and would like to be able to build off of the lessons learned. We really appreciate the opportunity to work with Active Voice and look forward to becoming more involved in the Ingredients for Change national campaign.”

“The ability to bring Food, Inc. to underserved communities in Nashville will help create and further dialogue about the work we’re doing not only in schools to increase the nutritional value of lunches and snacks served but to [further] the understanding of our food system as a whole and how it affects what we are able to purchase.”

“A screening [of Food, Inc.] directly furthers our work by making the community aware of the issues involved in our food economy and the value of a local food economy. That helps us build our awareness and grassroots involvement among a greater community base. It also helps build alliances with like-minded institutions that we are able to partner with. Ultimately, by growing a local food mindset and economy, we help farmers develop sustainable outlets for the fruits of their labor.”
- Don Van Erden, Executive Director, Community Farm Alliance (Frankfort, Kentucky)

“A community screening of Food, Inc. helps us expand the conversation about food access to include members of the community not typically engaged in policy or advocacy. The success of our policy work depends on the input of the people faced with the barriers we address. This screening will help us reach out to new community partners.”
