Films By and About USC

“Ethiopia: Feeding the Future” is a provocative account of the ingenuity of Ethiopian farmers and scientists, working together on an innovative program designed to rebuild Ethiopia’s food supply. Juno award winning folk artist, James Keelaghan, tells the story of how, through USC Canada’s Seeds of Survival program, Ethiopian farmers have worked to save landrace seeds through traditional, time-tested methods. It is these traditional seeds that hold the secret of success for food-producing nations around the globe.

Featuring breathtaking photography, a glimpse into one of the most ancient civilizations, and explorations into a profound agricultural development, “Ethiopia: Feeding the Future” was produced in 1995 by Roland K. Pirker of Rollframe Productions Limited for USC Canada.
