Food.Film.Fest - Eat More Trees at AardigAards & Fleur Coleur in Mariakerke

A film by Louis De Jaeger & Arne Focketyn – US/Spain/Brazil/Belgium – 2025 – 80 min What if the future of our food literally grows on trees? Eat More Trees takes you from the Amazon rainforest to Europe and the US, following pioneers who are rethinking agriculture through soil care and agroforestry. Despite the major challenges, these pioneers are building resilient ecosystems via the planting of trees, shrubs and crops. We see how they restore soils, enhance biodiversity and produce nutritious food at the same time. Their stories show that agriculture no longer needs to stand in opposition to nature, but can cooperate with it instead. An accessible and visually strong documentary that shows hopeful alternatives for our food system. Ideal for a broad audience; a post-screening discussion helps to further explore the possibilities and nuances of agroforestry and regenerative agriculture. This film evening will be introduced by director Arne Focketeyn. There will also be a bar and a stand with edible trees from ter Vlierbesse and flower seeds from Fleur-Couleur
