“The Green Vein” is an award winning documentary that showcases the agroecological movement that is taking shape across the fields, villages and urban spaces of West Africa. Cities like Bamako and Accra have increasingly higher numbers of organic urban gardeners, agricultural research institutions are turning their focus towards sustainable practices and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and citizen initiatives are working hard to promote agroecology as a systemic solution for many of the challenges the region faces.

"The Green Vein" film showcases the “agroecology rising in West Africa” and what the world can learn from it. It has just been released to the pubic after being showcased in 20 film festivals throughout the world, winning four of them and receiving honourable mentions in two others.

The Great Full community is delighted to partner with the Sustainable Agroecosystems Lab at ETH Zurich to host a screening of the film, followed by a discussion with Dr. Claudia Zingerli, Head ETH Sustainability and former r4d programme coordinator who was the Executive Producer of the film.

The screening is for members of The Great Full community and students of the course ‘Agroecology without Borders’, however we warmly invite anyone interested to join us for the evening!
