On Monday, March 25, Gary’s Gig will present “The Need To GROW”, an award winning documentary that focuses on the work to regenerate our planet’s most precious dying resource, our topsoil. With research showing that we have only 60 years of farmable soil left on Earth, this eye-opening film highlights the importance of topsoil and why healing it is an environmental solution we’ve been searching for. Soil health will continue to be a more mainstream issue as we experience its true potential for healing the world. “The Need to GROW” offers an intimate look into the hearts of activists and innovators in the food movement: an 8 year old girl challenges the ethics of a beloved organization; a renegade farmer struggles to keep his land as he revolutionizes resource efficient agriculture and an accomplished visionary inventor faces catastrophe in the midst of developing a game-changing technology.
