00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Music they say is the universal language.
00:07 I think food is.
00:09 Food is the one global unifier.
00:14 Everybody can sit down around a table and enjoy good food.
00:17 - I'm most fearful that our children
00:24 won't have the opportunity to experience that.
00:28 - As a species, what are we doing with our time?
00:31 How are we consuming this planet?
00:34 - 50% of the planet's habitat is gone
00:37 because of our agriculture.
00:39 - People don't have a connection to what food really is
00:42 and where it really comes from.
00:44 - To scale our current consumption to 10 billion people
00:48 is simply manifestly impossible.
00:50 We don't have the arable land for that.
00:52 We don't have water resources.
00:55 In other words, we will be forced to change direction.
00:59 - So in the food movement,
01:03 the critical thing is connecting the dots
01:05 between all of these different issues.
01:07 Health, food access, the environment.
01:11 - This system over here is gonna produce food,
01:13 fuels, medicines, and fibers in perpetuity forever
01:16 while increasing the fertility of the soil,
01:18 increasing the biodiversity.
01:20 Do you hear the toads creaking off in the background?
01:22 I hope you do.
01:23 And the toads are eating my pests.
01:25 (dramatic music)
01:28 - As a hospital system,
01:30 we should be leaders in what healthy food looks like.
01:34 We believe food is medicine in that it can prevent disease
01:38 or if you do have a disease, it can reverse it.
01:41 - We believe that if we connect the learning
01:44 around food and nutrition to other learning,
01:46 that it will stick more
01:48 and that we will have folks when they leave here
01:50 who are more likely to make stronger choices
01:53 around the food that they consume.
01:55 - We need to begin to investigate every aspect of our lives.
01:59 (dramatic music)
02:02 And let's start with what's on the plate tonight for dinner.
