  • 4/8 10 Billion: What's on Your Plate?

    This film is the third in the Environmental Metanoia Film Series, which consists of six recent documentaries about pressing environmental issues. The selections showcase a variety of voices  and in addition to explaining problems, offer solutions that can and are being pursued around the world. Screenings are free and open to the public.

    By 2050, the world population will grow to 10 billion people. In the midst of the heated debate about food security comes this broad and analytic look into the enormous spectrum of global food production and distribution -- from artificial meat, insects, industrial farming to self-cultivation.

    The film will be shown in the Student Union Theater, 2110 Hillside Road, Storrs, CT, 06268.

    This event is from 1-3 pm on Sunday April 8th. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the start of the film.
