Description

Join us for a screening of FROM SEED TO SEED, a film by Katharina Stieffenhofer. Proceeds to support global reforestation projects. FROM SEED TO SEED follows a young small-scale farming family, as well as a diverse group of Canadian farmers, for a season of challenges and rewards. Terry and Monique pursue their true passion of ecologically sustainable farming practices, and their story of community and resilience takes center stage in this film. Scientists are working with these farmers using a blend of ancient traditions and cutting edge science to develop improved methods for growing food ecologically and in a changing climate. This hopeful and award-winning story from Katharina Stieffenhofer provides one perspective on a global social movement towards healthy and regenerative farming practices.
