Join The Vale, Fairtrade Mossley, and Incredible Edible Mossley for a film screening of ‘In Our Hands’ Thursday 21st March 7.30pm

Food and farming is in crisis. In just over a decade we’ve lost more than 33,000 farms from our countryside, and alongside this, bad diet is now causing more health problems than smoking! The fundamental link between people, food and the very land we stand on is being broken. Yet it need not be this way.

There is a growing movement of farmers and food workers who are creating vibrant farms, living soils, thriving food markets and a fairer food system for all. At the heart of all change lies a story, and In Our Hands is the story of a new kind of farm, a new kind of food and a new kind of society.

Schedule:

18:00 – 19:00 Still life drawing with Little Owl Studio

19:00 Doors for screening and bar open

19:30 – 20:40 Film screening

20:40 Stick around for a drink to discuss the film’s themes after the screening.

This is a free event but ticket booking is advised to avoid disappointment.

Friends of The Vale have a live Crowdfunder for growing, gardening and engaging with nature. If this free film and workshop inspire you to contribute to this work Aviva will currently match those donations here.
