Farming on the frontlines of climate change – World Food Day lunch & film

This day we have the pleasure to show the award-winning short documentary With Grace, which follows Grace, a young girl growing up on a small farm in Kenya. The film is a powerful story about Grace and her family, highlighting climate vulnerability and what it means to grow up on the frontlines of climate change. 

After the screening, we invite you to a conversation with filmmaker Julia Dahr, NMBU researcher Sarah Paule Dalle, and Maria Uldahl from Save the Children. Where we will talk about how climate change is affecting farmers both in the Global South and here in Norway, and discuss what is needed to help the most vulnerable farmers adapt to a future shaped by a rapidly changing climate.

Where: Tower building, room TU101

When: Thursday, October 16th, from 12.15-13.30

Register here for free vegetarian lunch.

About With Grace:
Grace, a witty 13-year-old girl, with the rare gift of making everyone around her laugh, takes us back to her early childhood years with her close-knit, loving farmer family in Kenya: a time with lots of fun, but also a time when disaster almost split her family apart.
