This Event is a Screening, Organised by IABR.

Drought, soil depletion, food sovereignty, CO2 emission, animal welfare: the state of our current food system is in dire need of new narratives. Architects, activists and farmers collaboratively search for perspectives toward alternative agricultural futures using film as their method and medium.
