About this Event
Enjoy a film screening and snacks at No More Empty Pots Food Hub. We will watch documentaries about food systems followed by a brief discussion about how our actions can impact the food system to be more sustainable.

These important films address food systems, regenerative agriculture, and seed sovereignty. Each film will be followed by a discussion or panel featuring advocates here in the Omaha area doing relevant food systems work here in Nebraska. Attendees will also receive a cover crops kit that you can use to apply regenerative agriculture in your own garden.
