Local foodies are in for a treat this Thursday with the screening of a brand new film focused on our food production systems on the Island.
Duncan filmmaker Nick Versteeg鈥檚 first film on food security on Vancouver Island, Island On the Edge, was a great success at World Community鈥檚 film festival two years ago in the Comox Valley and the premiere of his new film, Food Security: It鈥檚 in Your Hands, sold out at the Victoria Film Festival earlier this year.
Versteeg will be in attendance Thursday at 7 p.m. at North Island College鈥檚 theatre to present this new film about Vancouver Island food security issues.
In this film, Versteeg interviews a number of experts, including farmers, and asks a series of provocative questions:
鈥淐an we feed the world the way we farm today?鈥�
鈥淲hat is happening to the bees?鈥�
鈥淗ow can we get people into farming?鈥�
鈥淗ow do we treat the soil?鈥�
He will be joined by a panel of local farmers and will lead a discussion after the screening.
