Every year one million acres of farmland are lost to development

The Last Crop tells a personal tale of a family caught in the middle of a delicate interplay between urban and agricultural space in California’s Central Valley. Annie and Jeff Main own a 20-acre organic farm that serves the Sacramento/San Francisco communities. After 30 years of farming, they are finding it harder to remain viable in a rapidly changing highly competitive environment.

The evening will consist of a 20 minute screening of the film followed by a panel discussion.  The panel will discuss some of the current issues of being viable and sustainable as a small scale farmer.

Question:

What does it take to be a viable and sustainable small scale farmer?

Moderator:  

Paul Muller of Full Belly Farm & Yolo Land Trust

Panelists:      

Anne and Jeff Main of Good Humus Farm

Chuck Schultz, producer/director of "The Last Crop"
