Food co-ops are a force for dynamic social and economic change. Using interviews, rare archival footage, and commentary, Food For Change is the first film to examine the important historical role played by food co-ops, their pioneering quest for organic foods, and their current efforts to create regional food systems. 82 mins.

After the film Jason Codner, Board President of the Silverton Food Co-op, will speak and take questions. “Cooperatives have a long history of providing their communities with access to healthy, sustainably-grown food. They do this by putting community over profit and operating by a set of values and principles that encourage equity, democracy, honesty and openness. Silverton Food Co-op is striving to be such a store. We are a grocery store that is owned by the community. Find out more at silvertonfood.coop!”
