Nourish is an educational initiative designed to open a meaningful conversation about food and sustainability, particularly in schools and communities. In this clip, author Michael Pollan discusses potential technologies that would allow consumers to see the history of food. The use of a second barcode could potentially let a consumer know where their food came from, when it was picked, and if pesticides were used in the growing process. Part of the Nourish Short Films Series.
