What connects your carrot to the climate crisis?

A new online film from WhyHunger, "The Food and Climate Connection," shows the impact of today's global food system on the climate. The short features interviews with farmers, community leaders, and sustainability advocates, and shows how sustainable farming practices can pose a solution to the crisis. The film can be viewed online at the Food Security Learning Center's new topic on Climate Change and the Food System, and will also be shown as part of Lincoln Center's Green Screen program on July 29.
