Interview: Joel Salatin
Joel Salatin is America's most celebrated pioneer of chemical-free farming – but if you want to taste his beef or chicken you'll have to move to Virginia. He talks to Gaby Wood about why local is best and his role in the documentary Food, Inc which attacks the giants of industrialised food production.
Salatin, who has been farming in this way for years, came to more widespread attention thanks to Michael Pollan's bestselling book The Omnivore's Dilemma – he refused to ship meat to Pollan outside of the meat's own bioregion, and became an important figure in the book. Now he provides the charismatic moral backbone of Food, Inc, a hard-hitting documentary featuring Pollan and co-produced by Eric Schlosser, the investigative reporter who wrote Fast Food Nation.
Food, Inc suggests some shocking links between big government and big business in the food industry, along with some appalling statistics. For instance, in the 1970s, the top five beef packers controlled 25% of the market; now the top four control more than 80% – meaning that if ever meat is tainted by bacteria or chemicals it has the potential to reach vast numbers of people; in 1972, 50,000 food safety inspections were conducted by the US Food and Drug Administration, and three decades later that number had gone down to 9,164; 70% of all processed foods have some genetically modified ingredient; in 2007, E coli from food affected 73,000 Americans – something the film correlates directly with the increase in consumption of processed foods and the scale and cleanliness of the country's huge industrial slaughterhouses. But beyond the statistics, the sheer sight of carcasses being dunked in ammonia, endlessly and mechanically, would make any meat eater want to stop eating meat. The very banality of it – the fact that we could, the filmmakers suggest, change the world with every bite yet somehow refuse to – is horrifying.....Interview: Joel Salatin

Program: NOW on PBS
Episode: Food, Inc.
Americans have a longstanding love affair with food -- the modern supermarket has, on average, 47,000 products. But do we really know what goes into making the products we consume? David Brancaccio talks with filmmaker Robert Kenner, the director of Food, Inc., which takes a hard look at the secretive and surprising journey food takes on the way from processing plants to our dinner tables.

Two graduates and one current student of Innovation Democracy’s one-year entrepreneurship course at Kabul University arrived in the Bay Area, seeking to meet and learn from California businesses that “started from zero and are now successful.”
Members of a class of 37, Mr. Jamil Ahmadzai, 31, and Mr. Hedayat Arbab, 25 successfully completed the Innovation Democracy entrepreneurship course in which Ms. Malika Jan Mohammad, 25, is currently enrolled. The one-year course requires students to solve business problems subject to peer review, engage in group work, listen to presentations by local entrepreneurs and prepare a business plan. Summer internships are also available to the students. Ms. Wagma Mohmand teaches the classes in Pashto, Dari and English under the supervision of Dr. Sari Stenfors, formerly of Stanford University and Liisa Valikangas, Professor of Innovation at the Helsinki School of Economics. Ms. Wagma Mohmand is present with the visiting students.
Arbab is from a farming family in eastern Afghanistan, where he worked on the family farm until graduating from high school. While attending Kabul University he developed a desire to pursue business but was frustrated by his lack of practical business training. He enrolled in the Innovation Democracy entrepreneurship course that he describes as a “Dream come true.” Following completion of the course he started his own packaging business, packaging dried fruit for sale in the United Arab Emirates. During his stay here he wants to focus on packaging and design, concepts that are unfamiliar to Afghan farmers and merchants. He also wants to establish a mentorship link between American and Afghan businesses.
Ahmadzai is from the central region of Afghanistan, an area with little arable land, best known to Americans as the home of the Taliban destroyed Bamyan Buddhas. He met Arbab, with whom he is now working, in the entrepreneurship course. His primary interest is in observing the American business process, especially the concept of market research, another concept that is foreign to Afghan businesses.
Both Arbab and Ahmadzai plan to share the knowledge gained from their California visit with their classmates. Ahmadzai says, “What I learn here I will tell my classmates. There will be much information to take back.”
As a female, Malika Mohammad is still unique among Afghan business people. She has designed and made handkerchiefs, blankets, scarves and curtains sold on street corners. She wants to expand her business, in part by exporting her goods to Afghan communities around the world. “With my success,” she says, “I can help my family and I can be a good example to many talented women in Afghanistan.”
The students will visit a local Community Supported Agriculture farm in Grass Valley, where they will meet with interns who are planning on establishing their own farm-related businesses; Chaffin Orchards in Oroville, where they will discuss layered land use; SunSmile farms in Grass Valley; attend a class on Strategic Management at San Jose State University; and have meetings with various members of the Stanford University faculty. Visits with other businesses and organizations such as the San Francisco World Trade Council are also scheduled.
The students are available for interviews. They will be returning to Afghanistan on October 1, 2009. Call Sari Stenfors, CEO, at 650--283-2631 or Jaak Treiman, General Counsel, at 818--340-5766.
