Do you ever stop and wonder: What's the story of my food? Where did it come from, and how did it get to me? Food connects us to some of the most important questions of our time. The food choices we make — individually and as a society — create a ripple that is felt around the world. The purpose of Nourish is to open a broad public conversation about our food system that encourages citizen engagement, particularly among young people and families.

To inform and inspire, Nourish combines television programming, short films, web content, and learning tools. With a distinctly positive vision, Nourish celebrates both food and community.

"Food is not just fuel. Food is about family, food is about community, food is about identity. And we nourish all those things when we eat well."
- Michael Pollan from Nourish the film

NOTE: The DVD contains the half hour television program and 11 short films.
