Farming and food production have strong connections to us all.  Join us on a journey through three film nights as we explore some of the darker sides of our relationship with food.  Issues ranging from industrial factory farming and genetically engineering of food to the loss of food sovereignty and threat to food security will be addressed.  We’ll have a short discussion of some of the problems raised and pose solutions and actions we can all take.
