Join us to watch Common Ground, a film about America's food system and the unjust practices behind it. Followed by a farmer panel.
Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, Kiss the Ground, which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late.
This event is hosted at Wake Up Iowa Coffee (3605 Douglas Ave, Des Moines, IA 50310). We will watch the film Common Ground, followed by a panel with Farm Baby, LSI Global Greens and The Sustainable Iowa Land Trust (SILT) to discuss ways you can support a more regenerative food system!
Registration is required HERE. The $10 class fee directly supports the farmers speaking at this event.
