Local Angelinos can come watch a free screening of the documentary, Need To Grow. Then stay for the panel discussion with me and two other experts after the film. Here’s info about the film:
A Story of Solutions
In a race against the end of farmable soil, three individuals fight for change in the industry of agricultural food production, calling for a revolution.
The Need to GROW delivers alarming evidence on the importance of healthy soil — revealing not only the potential of localized food production working with nature, but our opportunity as individuals to help regenerate our planet’s dying soils and participate in the restoration of the Earth.
Join Me for a Live Panel Discussion
A panel discussion with Alicia Serratos, Student Activist featured in the film, Christy Wilhelmi, owner of Gardenerd and Jackie Rivera-Krouse, Santa Monica Farmers Market Manager will follow the film.
The panel will be moderated by Sarah Spitz, UC Master Gardener, Los Angeles County
