The Worm is Turning

A very special event at the Star Court Theatre, with food and a Q&A session afterwards - including the filmmakers.

 

How did agriculture become agri-business? Where do pesticides and nitrogen fertilizer come from? What was the Green Revolution? Why do we still have over a billion hungry people in the world when there is enough food to feed 11.5 billion people? Why is food grown using chemicals cheaper than food grown organically?

 

Filmed on location in India, USA, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia, THE WORM IS TURNING shows with examples of ecological farming, the possibilities of producing food as well as restoring the environment. This means more jobs, jobs with meaning and connection to nature, and an agriculture that is truly sustainable.

 

Featuring Vandana Shiva, Joel Salatin, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Raj Patel, Winona LaDuke, Bob Cannard, Will Allen, Bhaskar Save, Meriel Watts, Devinder Sharma, P.V. Satheesh, Olivier De Schutter and many more.
