SYNOPSIS:

Farming, once the heartbeat of our society, is becoming an endangered profession.

“Feast Or Famine” explores the challenges facing small-scale farmers in Nova Scotia, revealing a lack of security and sustainability in our food system.

Down-to-earth wisdom from farmers; will we listen before it is too late?
