From the Earth to the Pot: Urban Agriculture & Food Security in Lima, Peru| 20mins
Director: Rebecca Sweetman | Producer: The Paradigm Shift Project
Focus Years: 2009 | Country: Canada
Synopsis:
Among many of Lima’s slum neighborhoods, urban agriculture projects have increasingly become a strategy to improve food security and make communities safer and greener. Community gardening programs throughout Lima are generating greater access to fresh nutritious food, thereby helping to break cycles of poverty and hunger. For this film, The Paradigm Shift Project interviewed non-profit organizations, several community garden members and urban farmers, researchers from local nutritional and agricultural institutes, as well as local municipal authorities. These interviews elucidated and documented the impact of urban agriculture projects on communities and families. It also provided a means for local participants to assert their specific needs in terms of food security and what types of support are required to continue and further these vital projects.
