At the outset, our production has commenced with filming at Wheatsville in Texas, where we engaged with the marketing manager Nick Comm, to understand their approach to addressing food availability challenges.
However, we are merely scratching the surface of this critical issue and aspire to expand our scope by filming in six additional locations worldwide.
These include destinations across the USA, Holland, Denmark, the UK, China, and Nigeria, where we aim to capture diverse perspectives and initiatives aimed at bridging the gap in food access.
With your support, we can amplify voices from around the globe and shed light on innovative solutions that empower communities and promote equitable access to nutritious food options for all.
