Food is one of the universal threads that connects all life, but how and what we eat has taken on more meaning than just nutrition. Author Michael Pollan makes the case for farmers’ markets as a quiet revolution of our food system today. Learn how these celebrations of community reinvigorate local economies and reconnect consumers to the natural world.

This video is part of a series called "Seeding the Field: 30 Years of Transformative Solutions," which celebrates some of the best moments of the Bioneers conference through the last 30 years. Founders Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons, who organized these brilliant lectures, were gracious enough to assist in the curation of the keynotes selected for the production of these videos. Many thanks go to the Bioneers organization, its staff and partners, and all those who proudly call themselves Bioneers.
