Here’s something to think about while you’re planting your garden or buying your produce. In the last century, 94 per cent of our seed varieties have disappeared.

You are invited to a screening of the documentary “Seed: The Untold Story.” 

Hear the story of farmers, scientists, lawyers, and indigenous seed keepers rekindling our connection to seeds, and fighting a David and Goliath battle to defend the future of our food.

The screening takes place starting at 7 p.m. May 25 in Laurentian University's School of Education amphitheatre (rm SE-111).

After the screening there will be a community discussion and Q&A with four local panelists who will share their reflections on the film and their knowledge.

This film presentation is hosted by Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury in association with the Sudbury Horticultural Society and the Sudbury Downtown Indie Cinema Co-op.

The event kicks off the Sudbury Gardening Festival, which takes place at the Parkside Centre May 27.

Admission is by a suggested donation of $10.
