The Need To Grow is a feature documentary following underdog leaders of decentralized solutions and cutting edge technologies to fix our broken food system and regenerate our planet’s dying soils. With an estimated 60 years of farmable soil left on Earth, more toxic chemicals sprayed than ever before, seed varieties going extinct, bees dying off, historic water shortages, epidemics of malnutrition, the time to heal our food system, our environment and ourselves is now. But can we feed the world without destroying it?
This film delivers the most alarming research on why soils are so important to our ecosystem - it reveals not only the potential of localized food production models that work with nature, but more importantly, reveals our potential as active participants in an interconnected biosphere to become a planetary force to restore the Earth.
Please join us for this special online film screening on Saturday. The movie will be followed by a discussion with Aya & Manal, the co-founders of Namliyeh about their activities in Jordan and their review on the film.
