Throughout early 2019, we will be sharing short films on this page 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 wellbeing. 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’ll be adding a series of short films on this important — and colorful — topic each week throughout February and March, 2019. If you join the International Alliance for Localization (IAL), you can receive the films weekly by email. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates or view the films here on our website.

If you know of a short film or photo of farmers in action you think should be in this series (or if you want to run out real quick and make your own) we’d love for you to share it with us!
