Who controls the seeds that feed us? This sixth Donut Cinema evening pairs a film with a panel discussion on biodiversity, monoculture and the future of food. The organisers frame it through Kate Raworth's doughnut economy, a model for staying within planetary boundaries while meeting everyone's needs, and ask how we might care for soil, seed and seasons rather than draining them.
The evening begins with a screening of Isabelle Denaro's documentary FRø (Danish for 'Seeds'), which looks at how the world's seed supply has become concentrated in a few companies and at how small-scale farmers and seed alliances in the Nordics work to keep local seeds in circulation. Afterwards, Denaro joins Megan Lynn Maurer, Assistant Professor of Digital Green Transitions at the IT University of Copenhagen, and Louise Windfeldt from Frøsamlerne for a conversation about practical paths forward, including how to get involved with the Nordic Seed Alliance and Self-sustaining Cities.
