Today, our food system is implicated in three of the most critical problems facing our society: the energy crisis, the climate crisis, and the health care crisis.  None of these problems can be addressed without reforming the way America eats.  In this inspiring multimedia presentation, Pollan connects the dots between food and health, and introduces us to some visionaries who are "resolarizing" the food system.  The Sun Food Agenda - involving change at the level of the farm, the marketplace and the culture - promises to improve our health, cut our dependence on fossil fuel, and help solve our climate crisis.    Tickets to the reception and talk can be purchased through the Marin Center Box Office or by calling 415 499-6800  For more information about Michael Pollan please visit www.michaelpollan.com
