Event Information
Description
As the world’s agriculture and food systems face a crisis of disappearing seed diversity, a new short film tells the story of how African farming communities and organisations are reviving traditional seed diversity across the continent, and resisting mounting corporate pressure to use industrialised seed and farming methods.
This film is the follow up to the landmark 2012 film Seeds of Freedom, narrated by Jeremy Irons.
Doors open 7.30pm, film starts at 8pm at runs for approx 40 minutes, followed by time for a chat, cuppa and seedy conversation.
Tickets to this screening are £5 (free if you are unwaged - this is done on an honesty system and no evidence is required) and include a seed saving info sheet, free packet of seeds and other goodies!
All proceeds from ticket sales after costs will go to the Gaia Foundation.
