Our own Louisa Chu will appear as commentator on the premiere of the Edibles episode of Big Ideas for a Small Planet next Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 8PM E/P on the Sundance Channel.

Here’s the official description:

Episode 3: Edibles. Industrial food production has nearly eliminated small family farms and access to fresh food. Can we imagine a healthy food revolution? Ideas include urban farming, immigrant farmers and healthy school lunches. Featuring urban homesteader Jules Dervaes, Simran Sethi, Katrina Heron from the Chez Panisse Foundation, chef and journalist Louisa Chu, Mandy Davis from New Farms for New Americans, and Kristin Richmond and Kirsten Tobey from Revolution Foods.

Thanks so much for posting this. It's a beautiful, hopeful series - so happy to have played a small part. And yes, it's healthier than conventional television.

I hope Hulu eventually posts the whole thing!

TiVo locked and loaded.

Me too!

For those of you who do have Sundance Channel on Comcast, a friend told me that the show starts at 10PM in the Chicago area.

It's also rebroadcast at (I think) 1:00 AM (and I'm sure other times during the week), if you're a night owl.
