FILM DESCRIPTION: If you want to eat healthy food, you need to ask a lot of questions. This film does just that, and in doing so, Unbroken Ground: Revolutions Start from the Bottom explores four ways people are trying to improve our relationship to the land and oceans. We produce most of our food using methods that reduce biodiversity, damage soil and contribute to climate change. But our food can and should be a part of the solution to the environmental crisis –- produced in ways that restore our land, water and wildlife. The film tells the story of four pioneering groups working in the fields of regenerative agriculture, regenerative grazing, diversified crop development and restorative fishing.
Teens and young adults encouraged to attend.

After the films, join us for a conversation with local farmers who are practicing sustainable agriculture. Lake to Prairie Wild Ones will also help you understand the role of native plants in promoting healthy soils, retaining water and sequestering carbon. Plan to visit the action partner tables to learn how you can support local farmers, healthy soils and native wildlife. Facilitator: Celeste Flores, Lake County Outreach Coordinator for Faith in Place.
