Every year we lose 24 billion tons of fertile soil worldwide. That is thirty football fields per minute. If we continue to farm like today, we are literally pulling the rug from under our food system.
'Eat More Trees', narrated by actress Maaike Cafmeyer, shows how it can be done differently. Together with food forest expert and regenerative pioneer Louis De Jaeger we travel from the Amazon rainforest to European fields. We see how trees and perennial crops make agriculture more resilient against drought and heat, while simultaneously restoring soils, strengthening ecosystems, and producing healthier and more nutritious food.
The film will be followed by a conversation with the director Arne Focketyn.
