Planet Local short films series on food and farming

Our Planet Local short film series is an inspirational collection of free-to-view films that feature local food and farming projects around the world — with a particular focus on projects started by young people.

Good food is key to our survival and well-being. Eating local food is a powerful solution-multiplier — it reduces our carbon footprint, pollution, and waste, while creating dignified livelihood opportunities, strengthening communities and local economies, and strengthening our bodies with healthy fresh food in the process.

We want to say a big thank you to all the farmers featured in these films and to the filmmakers who brought their stories to life!

We encourage you to use these films to engage your local community around food and farming! Organize film screenings and discussion parties. Have your friends bring their favorite local food dishes. Use the short films along with a feature film from our list of Films for Change, or as an introduction to the Local Futures documentary, The Economics of Happiness.
