Film Screening & Discussion: Food Crossing Lines
Advocacy, community organizing, and stakeholder collaboration are key to making equitable food systems a reality. The farm stand at Little Ones Learning Center in Clayton County, Georgia – where the child well-being index among the lowest of the metro Atlanta counties – is a prime example. In this mini-documentary screening, learn how the Little Lions Farm Stand, housed at Little Ones Learning Center and supported by the Hands, Heart, and Soul Project, overcame legal and regulatory obstacles to make sustainable and organic produce – grown onsite at the community garden and sourced from local farms – accessible to their community. After viewing the documentary, key stakeholders from the Little Lions Farm Stand will share their perspectives and answer questions. This is a great opportunity to learn how local organizing and a commitment to change can shift power and cultivate justice, one community food project at a time.
