We are facing a problem of overconsumption and overproduction. It is five to twelve. Every year, 24 billion tons of fertile soil disappears worldwide, equivalent to about 1 football field per minute. If we continue to farm at this pace, we are literally pulling the ground out from under our food system. This hopeful documentary, narrated by Maaike Cafmeyer, shows how things can be done differently.
Together with agroforestry expert and regenerative pioneer Louis De Jaeger, you travel from European fields to the Amazon rainforest. You 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.
