My Food My Health

Brief Description:

Commonly people don't mind where their food is coming from, so also most urban consumers in Cambodia. This film tries to draw attention to this shortcoming.

A young pregnant woman is advised by the village doctor to take more care of the food she and her family eats. She becomes concerned about the safety of her food and asks herself where actually it comes from.

In the market, she meets a vegetable vendor who sources her products directly from farmers near the town. She tells her, that some of her supply comes from organic vegetable growers who don't use chemical inputs. She invites the young women to visit one vegetable farmer. She agrees to visit the farm which is a 15 minutes' drive away from the market the next day.

At the farm, she and her husband have a conversation with the lady farmer. Coincidentally a field worker comes along to see the farmer and he joins the discussion with the couple in Ms. Teav Chat 's farm in Kampong Chhnang province.
