4- Improve livestock welfare by highlighting humanely operated practices.
5- Restore land productivity through outreach and education of soil regenerating production methods.
6- Sustain food security by strengthening local food systems and restoring interest in our rural and urban agricultural communities.
Meet Our Founders
Charlie and Shauna Rankin started Meet My Neighbor Productions to share their passion for regenerative, sustainable, and humane agriculture. The perspectives of the agricultural community had turned negative over the years from misrepresentation and narrowly focused narratives of our food system. Charlie and Shauna wanted to share the positive side of agricultural production to support our farmers and encourage regenerative, sustainable, and humane practices.
Since Meet My Neighbor Productions was established in 2020, Charlie and Shauna have traveled throughout the United States and Canada producing educational documentaries and short films.
