Project: The Seedy Food ReportA film-maker, Lisa had worked with Pun Pun Sustainable Living and Learning Centre in Northern Thailand, producing a web documentary about the Centre’s work in fostering community-based agricultural sustainability and the philosophy behind it. The importance of seed-saving and empowering Thai farmers were ultimately highlighted in this documentary which then sparked an educational production in Thai for Thai farmers as they are not exposed to information concerning the food systems and hence, vulnerable to fall victim to manipulation.
“Many people are simply unaware of what is really going on with our deteriorating food situation and the collective long term negative effects that emerge from this lack of information. We intend to address a broad audience since the state of our food affects everyone.” – Lisa Safarik
“The Seedy Food Report” is an extension of this Thai educational piece, to highlight the complexities of the global food system in crisis. Right from the beginning of seed sowing to the critical food situation, the documentary will be produced in hope to foster more sustainable agriculture. Due to its global relevance, the documentary will be translated into English for international audience and will also be subtitled into languages of non-English speaking countries respectively.
