Summary
Sewage sludge - tons of industrial and municipal sludge is spread each year on arable land. The food that we eat is thus produced on land fertilized by digester sludge containing dangerous substances. The consequences have been disastrous: death, diseases and heavy metal poisoning. In meetings with victims from Canada, United States, Switzerland and France, including farmers and citizens who denounce this practice, and scientists and government officials, we get a very clear picture from the filmmaker on the enormity of the problem. A problem he feels must be brought before the public.

Summary
Roger Swainston is a renowned artist known for his hyper-realistic paintings and illustrations of underwater species and reefscapes. His aim is to cultivate awareness and drive attention to the beauty and diversity of Australian marine life. Swainston's passion for the underwater world began early on when his family would take fishing trips to the southern coast along the Great Southern Reef from his inland hometown in the western Australian outback. It was there, and during his time working on exploratory research vessels and fishing trawlers that he began to observe the immense diversity within the Australian waters. After studying zoology at the University of Western Australia and spending several years developing his artwork in France, he returned to Australia and began to focus on the integration of science and art. By intricately drawing and painting hundreds of marine and freshwater species in painstaking detail, Swainston gives the viewer the opportunity to see these complex environments and animals in a different way and, in turn, instigate the desire to protect and preserve their local marine environments.

Summary
Food and agriculture are in the news daily. Stories in the media highlight issues of abundance, deprivation, pleasure, risk, health, community, and identity. Remaking the North American Food System examines the resurgence of interest in rebuilding the links between agricultural production and food consumption as a way to overcome some of the negative implications of industrial and globalizing trends in the food and agricultural system. Written by a diverse group of scholars and practitioners, the chapters in this volume describe the many efforts throughout North America to craft and sustain alternative food systems that can improve social, economic, environmental, and health outcomes. With examples from Puerto Rico to Oregon to Quebec, this volume offers a broad North American perspective attuned to trends toward globalization at the level of markets and governance and shows how globalization affects the specific localities. The contributors make the case that food can no longer be taken for granted or viewed in isolation. Rather, food should be considered in its connection to community vitality, cultural survival, economic development, social justice, environmental quality, ecological integrity, and human health.
