Rachel's Farm Film Debut in Santa Barbara October 15th

 6pm at the Lobero Theatre, Santa Barbara

Join the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network for a special evening with Rachel Ward as she shares her experience coming to terms with the catastrophic fires & floods that have plagued Australia in recent years. The personal storytelling style of the film features intimate interviews with Rachel, her family, her inquisitive young farm manager who prompts them on a regenerative farm learning path, and all the people she has been inspired by on her transition from the world of entertainment to the world of farming. With honesty and humor, the film gives a unique insight into her voyage from willful ignorance about the ecological impacts of conventional agriculture to embracing a regenerative movement to restore the health of Australia's farmland, food and climate. Conversation and Q&A with Rachel follows.

Crossings, the latest book from Ben Goldfarb, environmental journalist and award-wining author of Eager (Beaver), is an eye-opening and witty account of the global ecological transformations wrought by roads. Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. Goldfarb travels throughout the U.S. and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet.
