About this event

Cornwall’s Climate Stories – Hungry for Change (preview showing)

Hungry for Change, the latest episode in the Cornwall’s Climate Stories series, is presented by a forager who takes a fascinating and inspiring look at how we could ‘do food better’ – from the gleaners picking ‘waste’ crops in our fields to a microbiologist keen to get us all eating low-carbon insects and projects to grow food in unusual places.

What we eat and the way we produce it is responsible for a huge part of our carbon emissions, particularly since we import nearly 50% of all our food …. and waste one-third of it.

Last summer’s heatwave, which frazzled crops and left dairy cows suffering from heat stress, showed just how vulnerable our intensive, fossil fuel-driven food system is to climate shocks.

Directed by Calstock’s own Bryony Stokes.

There is an option to eat before the film (£8 for a vegan meal from a local food group paid for separately) but to ensure we do not waste food, please contact Bryony to book via email [email protected]

The film will be followed by a question and answer session.
