Project Updates

01/18/2010

Since our last update, we traveled around the Midwest and East Coast interviewing the farmers, activists and experts behind the "good food" movement. We've been able to cover diverse topics including aquaponics, sustainable lobster fishing, rooftop farms, organic beer and fair trade. It's been a pleasure learning and building with a community of people who are passionate about the health of our people and our planet.

We've also been honored to receive recognition for our work in several ways: OrganicNation.tv was a NAU Grant for Change Finalist in September 2009 and received an honorary mention in the Earth Journalism Awards in November 2009 and was chosen to participate in an exhibition at the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. OrganicNation.tv has also been featured in GOOD magazine, Seattle Post Intelligencer, Mindful Metropolis and prominent green sites including Huffington Post Green, Treehugger.com, Mother Nature Network, Traveling Greener and EarthFirst.com.

We plan to continue our in 2010 with a tour of Southern and Mountain states. Stay tuned!

I'm happy to report that the OrganicNation.tv project has been improving and expanding rapidly since we launched. Mark Boyer and I recently returned from our KickOff Tour of the West Coast where we interviewed farmers, activists, brewers and restaurant owners about their engagement with sustainable food. Our trailer was screened at The Organic Summit in Stevenson, Washington at the end of May and we were lucky enough to attend the event and even got a chance to meet Nell Newman! Now that we're back in Chicago, I'm editing all the footage we got on our trip and Mark is blogging up a storm. We've been getting great responses from our viewers and fellow green bloggers (we've been written up on sites like Treehugger.com, EarthFirst.com, LaVidaLocavore and RevolutionGreens). We've also been chosen as a featured project on Changents.com. Next up, we're filming around the Midwest and planning our East Coast tour!
