NOURISHING GLOBAL COMMUNITIES:
FOOD, FILMS, MUSIC AND DISCUSSION

LUNCH + DOUBLE BILL + DISCUSSION
with Alex Renton and other guests - including you!
Films: THE DANCING FOREST and GROWING CHANGE

Can we eat our way to a better world? Following on from last year’s sell-out world food day event, join Take One Action and friends in Leith to further explore Scotland’s food chain and its relation to people across the globe: all centred around a fantastic world food buffet. We kick off with lunch, stalls, a brand new photo exhibition about Scotland’s links with the developing world, and live music from Andy, and Rise (previously on the Bhundu Boys) – your chance to kick back under the Drill Hall’s wonderful glass roof, alongside others curious and expert about a range of food and justice issues. From 1pm we have two exclusive film screenings. The Dancing Forest (Reykjavik International Film Festival Environmental Award) celebrates the extraordinary women of rural Togo who are taking back their food system from overseas control; while our premiere of Growing Change draws similar inspiration from urban settings in Venezuela. The afternoon wraps up with an interactive open discussion featuring Alex Renton (The Guardian), James O’Nion (Red Pepper) and you! Mmmm. If you don’t leave belly-full of inspiration for more wholesome relationships with the wider world, we’ll eat our hats.

Hosted by Take One Action in support from Out of the Blue, NIDOS, WDM and The Co-operative.
