Demystifying Organic Agriculture

Organic Rising pulls back the curtain on the American food system, revealing the urgent stakes behind how our food is grown—conventional vs. organic—and the immediate consequences on our health and environment. The documentary deconstructs the often-confusing USDA organic label and farming practices, empowering consumers to navigate food choices with confidence. More than informative, the film allows viewers to reconsider their role in shaping a food system that is ethical and sustainable.
