We’re continuing our series of monthly gatherings to pull all our
friends and allies in the same room (and enjoy $1 off all American

Awarded the Slow Food NYC “Snail of Approval” – Jimmy’s No. 43 boasts
serious. quality. food. Known for sustainability, Jimmy’s is part of
the community and fights the good fight for real food and food
movement advocates. They’re excited to host us and we’re thrilled to
be there!
Hope to see some of you out today at Jimmy’s to connect with food
allies and activists from around the city including Columbia SIPA,
Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, The New School, CUNY Grad
Center, Baruch College, and Rutgers. The Food EDU student
collaborative encourages connections and idea-building between
students, educators, advocates and those interested in everything
food!
This month we’re screening the documentary Growing Change, by
filmmaker Simon Cunich — a powerful story of building just and
sustainable system from the ground up. Food sovereignty in action!
Growing Change follows the filmmaker’s journey to understand why
current food systems leave hundreds of millions of people in hunger.
It’s a journey to understand how the world will feed itself in the
future in the face of major environmental challenges.
The documentary begins with an investigation of the 2008 global food
crisis, looking at the long-term underlying causes. Will expanding
large-scale, energy-intensive agriculture, be the solution or embed
problems? If we already produce enough food to feed the world why do
so many people go hungry?
After hearing about efforts in Venezuela to develop a more equitable
and sustainable food and agriculture system, the filmmaker heads there
to see if it’s working and find out what we might be able to learn
from this giant experiment.
