About this Event
is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, , which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late.
We will watch the film Common Ground, followed by a panel of Iowa farmers to discuss their farming practices and the implications for our agricultural system.
Registration is required. The $10 class fee directly supports the farmers speaking at this event.
