Project Description

“Feast or Famine” is a glimpse into a rapidly vanishing way of life: sustainable food production in rural Nova Scotia.

It connects not only the minds but also the hearts of the community with local farmers.

Despite the huge challenges faced by small scale farmers, they remained incredibly positive. The interviews explored how to reclaim the self-sufficient aspects of Nova Scotia’s food production in times past and, at the very core of the issue, how to reconnect people with the value of food.

Can we adopt a system that nurtures our environment, or will we continue abusing Mother Nature on our terms. Will our future be a Feast or a Famine?
