The Need to Grow

The Need to GROW offers an intimate look into the hearts of activists and innovators facing the challenge of there being only 60 years of farmable soil left on Earth. It follows an 8-year-old girl as she challenges the ethics of a beloved organization, a renegade farmer struggling to keep his land as he revolutionizes resource efficient agriculture, and an accomplished visionary inventor who faces catastrophe in the midst of developing game-changing technology. The film delivers alarming evidence for the importance of preserving the health of our soil – revealing not only the potential of localized food production to work in tandem with nature, but also the opportunities we have to restore our planet.
