NETWORKING ACTIVITIES OF ORGANIC EGYPT FOUNDATION

Awareness Event – Cowspiracy Movie Screening

Organic Egypt Foundation team took part in a networking event organized in collaboration with the Egyptian Biodynamic Association (EBDA). The gathering centered around a screening of the internationally recognized documentary film Cowspiracy, which explores the environmental impact of large-scale animal production and raises critical questions about sustainability and food systems worldwide. Additionally, the event provided an excellent opportunity for knowledge sharing and dialogue. After watching the documentary, participants engaged in a discussion about the film’s theme and how it can be reflected on Egypt’s agricultural sector. Topics such as sustainable farming practices, the importance of organic agriculture, and the role of local communities in reducing environmental impact were highlighted.
