About the film: This thought-provoking documentary, gives an inside look into how business operations affect climate change, features solution-based companies that are working within a circular, regenerative business model, and shows how companies (small and large) can start to adopt triple-bottom line principles to ensure profitability, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability.

Directed by Emmy Award nominated filmmaker Richard Yelland, Seeding Change takes a first-hand look at mission-based businesses led by a new generation of social entrepreneurs working to fight poverty through Fair Trade job creation, protect the biodiversity, promote organic and sustainable agriculture, and ultimately to ensure the health of our planet for future generations.

Featuring and also encouraging the ever-growing “vote with your dollar” consumer movement, Seeding Change also provides an optimistic view on how there is a solution to doing business that is not only profitable but also sustainable, all while educating the everyday shopper on how their purchases can directly affect the future of our planet.
