Dr. Royal’s niece, Dorothee Royal-Hedinger, announces the launch of her new project: OrganicNation.tv.
OrganicNation.tv is an exploration of the American sustainable food landscape focusing on the people, places and products that are shaping a new green economy and lifestyle. From farmers to urban gardeners, teachers to restaurant owners, we’re traveling the country to document how sustainable food systems are being created and we’ll be sharing blog posts, photos and videos along the way.
The website is still a work in progress but I wanted to share it with you all in the beginning stages – your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated!
At the end of May, I will be heading out on our first filming tour through the Midwest and West Coast regions of the U.S. If you feel so inclined, we’re gathering donations to help offset the cost of production and keep us moving. Every dollar counts and contributes to the noble cause of educating people about their food choices. Donate here: http://organicnation.chipin.com/organicnationtv-kick-off-tour
Another exciting piece of news is that our trailer is a finalist in the Organic Film Trailer Competition organized by The Organic Summit.
Please take a moment to vote for us here: Vote for OrganicNation.tv (no sign-in required, just leave a comment where it says “vote” under the video and click the “Post Vote” button)
We’re really lucky to have a wonderful board of advisers supporting this project:
Jill Richardson – Author of Recipe for America: Why Our Food System is Broken and What We Can Do To Fix It and blogger at Lavidalocavore
Alex Steed – Journalist, Activist and Online Community Management Consultant, Creator of Millennials Changing America
Sam Rose – Creator of OpenFarmtech.org and Localfoodsystems.org
Big thanks to them and everyone who has helped support this quest to get in touch with the land and share my discoveries about growing, eating and living sustainably.
