Rows of trees in the countryside make the soil healthier, the crops stronger and the environment cooler." 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 ground out from under our food system. 'Eat More Trees', narrated by actress Maaike Cafmeyer, shows how things 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 to drought and heat, while simultaneously restoring soils, strengthening ecosystems and producing healthier and more nutritious food. The film is followed by a discussion with director Arne Focketyn.
