Food Forward goes beyond celebrity chefs, cooking competitions, and recipes to reveal the compelling stories and inspired solutions envisioned
by food heroes across America who are striving to create a more just, sustainable and delicious alternative to what we eat and how we produce it.
Written by food journalist Stett Holbrook and produced by a veteran documentary film making team led by Greg Roden, Food Forward is a series
of thirteen, 30-minute episodes exploring new ideas of food in America as told by the people who are living them. Each episode will focus on a
different theme--school lunch reform, urban agriculture, commercial fishing, grass-fed beef, soil science--and spotlight the real people who
are creating viable alternatives to how we grow food and feed ourselves.
KQED in San Francisco has agreed to present our show to a national PBS audience upon successful completion of the pilot episode. Watch our first trailer below, a segment from an episode on biodynamic agriculture featuring innovative chef David Kinch.
