The Need to Grow Film Screening & Panel Discussion

Presented by the City of Santa Monica and Sustainable Works

The Film
In a race against the end of farmable soil, three individuals fight for change in the industry of agricultural food production, calling for a revolution.

The Need to Grow delivers alarming evidence on the importance of healthy soil — revealing not only the potential of localized food production working with nature, but our opportunity as individuals to help regenerate our planet’s dying soils and participate in the restoration of the Earth.
