American food is in a state of crisis. Obesity and diabetes are on the rise, food costs are skyrocketing, family farms are in decline and our agricultural environment is in jeopardy. A feature-length documentary film, INGREDIENTS explores a thriving local food movement as our world becomes a more flavorless, disconnected and dangerous place to eat.

With questions of food safety, accessibility, cost, and health at the forefront, we learn that seasonal food grown close to home provides consumers with a sense of security and connection as they develop relationships with the people who grow and prepare their food.

The film will be introduced by food scientist Jim Javenkoski, Ph.D. (BS '90 Food Science), who will moderate the post-film Q&A with a panel of food system experts, including:

Joel Espe, Owner of Hawks Hill Elk Ranch (Monticello, WI)
Joel & Jai Kellum, Owners of King's Hill Farm (Mineral Point, WI)
Jonny Hunter, Founding Member of Underground Food Collective (Madison)
Micah Hahn, Program Director of UW-Madison's F.H. King Students for Sustainable Agriculture
Michelle Miller, Associate Director of UW-Madison's Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems
Ron Doetch, Value-Added Ag Director of Conservation Research Institute (Elmhurst, IL)
