The ultimate goal behind the creation of “Broken Limbs” was to help viewers begin to change the way they think about the food they eat and the vital role of farmers in their communities.

Here you’ll find ways to expand your knowledge of sustainable agriculture and to start putting that knowledge into action:

• Viewers Guides: To help in hosting   discussion groups or to get the most   out of your own     viewing of Broken   Limbs

• The Local Buying Challenge: An   easy adventure in mindful shopping

• The works of Dr. John Ikerd: Our   favorite expert on Sustainable   Agriculture, plus others

• A Glossary of Sustainable   Agriculture: Words worth knowing

• Sustainable Ag Links: An online   exploration of sustainability

“ A produce department manager told me once that they’ll make changes in the produce department when about 10 people ask, when about 10 people bring something up. Because they figure if 10 people go to the trouble to ask, 100 others are thinking it. And so I just tell folks, ‘Ask. Talk about it.’ Y’know, ask questions, because 100 other people are thinking about it, are thinking about the very same thing and they’re not asking. So just imagine if we all started asking.”
