Statement from World Organic Forum:
"How do we find Common Ground when rapid change is needed? Local sovereignty and peace are directly interrelated with just food systems around the globe, ultimately creating healthy ecosystems, for healthy people and communities.
To overcome our presumed divisions, at the 7th World Organic Forum 2024 we discuss inclusive, non-dogmatic approaches, synergistically integrating the many diverse agricultural concepts towards regenerating agrifood ecosystems while giving back agency to the farmers and people working on the land."
Watch the film and learn directly from farmers, leaders, and advocates about how regenerative agriculture can rebuild soil health, sequester carbon, produce chemical-free food, and restore biodiversity in farm and food systems.
**Screening presented by Big Picture Ranch and Area 23a. Thank you to our partners and all the passionate people and organizations in/around this region who are supporting this screening, the forum, and the movement of regenerative agriculture.
