 The Food & Climate Connection: From Heating the Planet to Healing It highlights how our food system is both one of the greatest contributors to climate change and one of its greatest potential solutions.  By some estimates, the food system is responsible for fully one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming is, in turn, contributing to rising rates of hunger and food insecurity.  The good news is that communities around the world are showing another way forward!  By practicing sustainable, community-based agriculture, which holds carbon in the soil and reduces dependence on fossil fuels, they are feeding themselves while cooling down the planet.  The film brings viewers into this growing global movement and invites them to take part.
