About The Film

Feeding a Region Film Description:

The time to strengthen our regional food ecosystem has arrived. Now, more than ever, the Carolinas need robust local food systems that have the ability to withstand challenges such as pandemics, natural disasters, or changes in the agricultural workforce. We need an approach that is comprehensive and collaborative. An approach that includes our partners. An approach that includes farmers, farms, markets, and consumers. ‘Feeding a Region’ depicts Carolina Farm Trust’s vision to feed the Carolinas with healthy food from local farms and the steps we will need to take, collectively, along the way.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”132px”][ultimate_spacer height=”30″][/ult_animation_block][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/foodfarm_container][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1578992944805{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-right: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;margin-left: 30px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”WATCH THE RECORDED” main_heading_color=”#282828″ alignment=”left” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:35px;mobile:20px;” sub_heading_font_size=”desktop:57px;tablet:50px;tablet_portrait:45px;mobile_landscape:35px;mobile:35px;” el_class=”main-color custom_letterspace” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Oswald|font_call:Oswald|variant:300″ sub_heading_font_family=”font_family:Oswald|font_call:Oswald|variant:700″ sub_heading_style=”font-weight:700;” sub_heading_line_height=”desktop:58px;mobile_landscape:40px;mobile:40px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:300;” margin_design_tab_text=””]FILM PREMIERE & PANEL DISCUSSION
