RENFREW – The Renfrew County Soil & Crop Improvement Association is hosting a screening of the Food Evolution movie at the Renfrew O’Brien Theatre next Thursday, Feb. 22, at 7:30 p.m.
Admission is free with a donation to the Renfrew and Area Food Bank.
This is a first ever “Ask a Farmer” event — a social media brand that a few local farm girls have started to develop to help local farmers connect with our consumers.
Prior to the movie begins, we are going to have a few local farmers introduce themselves and their farming operations. The movie is a science-based Hollywood production narrated by scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson about food and technology.
David Ainsworth, co-ordinator of the Need to Know series (NTK) will be the evening facilitator.
If you have questions about food, technology, the environment — this is a great place to start.* �Â� * �Â�
We will also be collecting feedback cards for attendees if they have more questions about food and agriculture, noted Jennifer Doelman. We will be posting the answers on our upcoming Facebook page: “Ask a Farmer”.* �Â� * �Â�
This is a networking event to help get to know your local agricultural community.* �Â� * �Â� Many farmers in the audience will be wearing* �Â� ‘Ask me, I’m a Farmer’ t-shirts if you want to start a conversation.* �Â� * �Â�
There is a lot of information about agriculture in the media — some good, some bad, but who better than a farmer to get some answers from?* �Â� * �Â�
This event is open to the general public with free admission with a donation to the Renfrew & Area Food Bank.* �� * ��
If this is something that you have a friend or family member who might be interested, please invite them.
If you have any questions about the event, or agriculture, please email us at* �� [email protected].
