News / Voices of Transition
A FILM about the future of food production in a world without fossil fuels is being shown in Lerwick on Wednesday night.
The Shetland group Let’s Make Change, Let’s Start Locally are putting on the film Voices of Transition at the Clickimin’s Waterside Suite at 7pm.
The thought-provoking documentary talks about why the current system of industrial agriculture is coming to an end and what people are doing about.
It also shows how the people of Cuba survived the collapse of the Soviet Union and the resulting loss of oil, fertiliser and pesticide imports by creating a new system called agro-ecology.
Everyone is welcome to come along, watch the film and join in the discussion afterwards. There will be a collection to help pay for the space.
