A documentary film called Hands That Feed has begun filming. The movie will explore the agricultural collapse in Haiti, it's role in the post-earthquake food crisis, and the emerging grass root development models that seek to restore Haiti's food supply and environment. It will focus both on permaculture and sustainable agriculture rural development projects, and hopes to show the world that a different kind of economic development is possible.
Nouvelle Vie Youth Corps http://nouvelleviehaiti.org/ is working to train a new generation of young Haitian leaders in Permaculture design. Also featured is the MPP Haiti (of recent fame for organizing the burning of Monsanto's "gift" of seeds), and a number of other organizations.
