We present the inspiring story of British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food. A film showing at The Castle Theatre followed by a question and answer session.
For £6 we invite you to share an evening of remarkable farmers, communities, small businesses, chefs and entrepreneurs who are leading the way to transform how our food is produced and consumed.
The film looks at the history of British farming and asks “How did we get here?” through a short animated chapter that brings the audience up to speed with the industrial heritage of farming and the solutions that are within reach.
We show that agroecological* farming is not simply a job, but a way to live values and engage in practices which not only nourish the planet but also the farmers themselves. With our Q&A session after we will discuss this and every environmentally related.

Notes
*Agroecology is an approach to farming that includes ‘regenerative’ farming techniques that work in harmony with, rather than against nature. It focuses on local food systems and shorter supply chains. The advantages are numerous: we get to know who is growing our food and how, farmers get paid a fair price and have the satisfaction of producing healthy food in a healthy environment. Agroecology may also be our best chance in the face of climate change: it keeps carbon in the ground and creates resilient systems in the face of climate uncertainty.
