Rick Bayless, Cindy Pawlcyn, and Ludo Lefebvre in Top Chef Masters (2009)
A vital investigation of the economic and environmental instability of the American food system, from the agricultural issues we face to the community of leaders who are determined to fix it. Sustainable is a film about the land, the people who work it and what must be done to sustain it for future generations.

The narrative of the film focuses on Marty Travis, a seventh-generation farmer in central Illinois who watched his land and community fall victim to the pressures of big agribusiness. Determined to create a proud legacy for his son, Marty transforms his profitless wasteland and pioneers the sustainable food movement in Chicago.
