A Need to Grow – Film Needs Your Help
The Need to Grow is a positive new film by Rob Herring and Ryan Wirick that explores tons of options on the individual level towards feeding the world without destroying the earth.
This film – years in the making! – follows innovators of both low- and high-tech solutions to help localize food and regenerate the planet’s dying soils.
Was there ever a real food crisis? Could we and can always feed the world? This film examines food and agricultural issues, big and small.
The film is in the final stages and needs some help with production wrap-up. By donating to the film’s wrap-up, you could get production credit at the end of the film. Either way, be sure to view the previews and get more info below.

The problem is the solution. The problem is the need for agribusiness to grow profits without regard for the environment. The solution is the need to grow healthy food at the local level.
