Hello, Soil Lovers! In todayās solo episode of Secrets of the Soil, I want to dive deeper into the world of documentaries that inspire, educate, and transform our understanding of soil health and regenerative agriculture. Over the years, Iāve watched numerous films that left a lasting impact on me, shaping my journey in soil advocacy. Iām excited to share six outstanding documentaries that could potentially reshape your perspective as well. Letās dig in!
1. The Biggest Little Farm
One documentary that profoundly moved me early on is “The Biggest Little Farm.” This film follows the journey of a couple transforming barren land into a thriving, biodiverse oasis. One striking scene shows them hitting the shovel onto the hard, lifeless ground, which later evolves into a lush, productive farm. What stands out in this documentary is the concept of solving problems by thinking outside the box. At one point, they tackle a pest issue by introducing a new enterprise, which in turn solves their problem and provides additional income.
Although the couple received investor funding, the takeaway here is that with creativity and determination, there’s no limit to what you can achieveāeven if you face financial constraints. This film is a testament to the power of regenerative practices and the potential for land transformation.
2. David Attenboroughās A Life on Our Planet
David Attenborough’s “A Life on Our Planet” serves as a powerful witness statement documenting the drastic changes our Earth has undergone during his lifetime. Attenborough revisits locations he documented decades ago, illustrating the profound environmental changes that have occurred. One poignant scene highlights Chernobyl, where nature has reclaimed the area in the absence of human interference. Through this documentary, we understand that if we allow nature to heal itself, it thrives. The visual journey through Attenborough’s eyes offers a powerful, emotional call to action for environmental preservation.
3. 2040
“2040,” an Australian documentary, offers a refreshing take on the future, focusing on achievable solutions rather than doom and gloom. The director, Damon Gameau, envisions the world his daughter might inhabit in 2040 if we implement available technologies. This hopeful film grounded in current reality presents solar systems and sustainable practices already in use worldwide. By showcasing what’s possible today, “2040” ignites hope and inspiration, motivating viewers to be part of the change. It’s a captivating journey into sustainable possibilities.
4. Kiss the Ground
“Kiss the Ground” is another influential documentary I highly recommend. This film dives deep into the soil health movement, presenting the role of regenerative agriculture in combating climate change. I had the pleasure of interviewing the founders, who shared the immense effort that went into creating this film over seven years. The documentary outlines various stories and emphasizes the importance of soil health from multiple perspectives, including those of consumers and food producers. For those interested in the bigger picture of our food systems and their environmental impact, this film is a must-watch.
5. Fantastic Fungi
“Fantastic Fungi” is a visual masterpiece that explores the magical world of mushrooms and fungi. This film opened my eyes to the incredible roles fungi play in ecosystems, from soil health to medicinal uses. It showcases the groundbreaking potential of fungi in tackling environmental issues like plastic degradation and sustainable building materials. By blending captivating visuals and scientific insights, “Fantastic Fungi” provides an awe-inspiring look into a lesser-known but essential part of our natural world.
6. To Which We Belong
The conversation’s foray into the overlapping realms of soil health and human health is particularly compelling. Exposure to healthy soil microbia
Lastly, “To Which We Belong” captures the essence of regenerative farming by telling the stories of farmers and ranchers dedicated to improving their land. The film covers diverse climates and farming practices, illustrating that no matter the environment, regenerative practices can be adopted to leave the land better than we found it. An emotional highlight is the story of a family encouraging their children to explore the world before returning to the farm, emphasizing choice and discovery.
