Группа активистов, ученых, фермеров и политиков объединилась в глобальное движение «Regenerative Agriculture», которое могло бы сбалансировать наш климат, пополнить наши обширные запасы воды и накормить мир. В фильме рассказывается о негативных последствиях изменения климата на Земле и о бережном сельском хозяйстве, которое поможет восстановить ресурсы планеты. Земля за свою историю пережила 5 массовых вымираний живых существ и находится на пороге очередного, которое непосредственно связанно с деятельностью человека. Несмотря на то, что усиливающийся парниковый эффект грозит разрушительными природными аномалиями и таянием ледников, основной угрозой для человечества является эрозия почвы, которая стремительно усугубляется после изобретения человеком плуга и развитию сельского хозяйства. Актер и эко-активист Вуди Харрельсон и агроном Рэй Арчулета высказываются о том, как можно обезопасить планету от надвигающейся катастрофы.
Создатели фильма используют беспилотные дроны и скрытые карманные камеры, чтобы разоблачить темное подбрюшье современного животноводства, подвергая сомнению нравственность и обоснованность господства человечества над животным царством. Основное внимание уделяется животным, используемым для производства продуктов питания, но также затрагиваются другие способы, которыми животные эксплуатируются и подвергаются насилию со стороны людей, включая одежду, развлечения и исследования.

John and Mary Sims are city-dwellers hit hard by the financial fist of The Depression. Driven by bravery (and sheer desperation) they flee to the country and, with the help of other workers, set up a farming community - a socialist mini-society based upon the teachings of Edward Gallafent. The newborn community suffers many hardships - drought, vicious raccoons and the long arm of the law - but ultimately pull together to reach a bread-based Utopia.
The title "All My Good Countrymen" is not without irony as this epic tale of Czech village life from shortly after the end of the Second World War concentrates on the activities of a group of friends who are not beyond reproach in siding with a politically corrupt regime for material advancement. Are these the "good countrymen" of the title or does it refer to the rest of the village who scorn these petty authority figure with silent contempt?
For ancient Mayans, cocoa was as good as gold. For subsistence farmer Eladio Pop, his cocoa crops are the only riches he has to support his wife and 15 children. As he wields his machete with ease, slicing a path to his cocoa trees, the small jungle plot he cultivates in southern Belize remains pristine and wild. His dreams for his children to inherit the land and the traditions of their Mayan ancestors present a familiar challenge. The kids feel their father's philosophies don't fit into a global economy, so they're charting their own course. Rohan Fernando's direction tenderly displays a generational shift, causalities of progress in modern times and a man valiantly protecting an endangered culture. Breathtaking vistas of lush rainforests contrast with the urban dystopia that pulled Pops children away from him. Will one child return to carry on a waning way of life

King Corn is a fun and crusading journey into the digestive tract of our fast food nation where one ultra-industrial, pesticide-laden, heavily-subsidized commodity dominates the food pyramid from top to bottom – corn.

Along the way, they unlock the hilarious absurdities and scary but hidden truths about America’s modern food system in this engrossing and eye-opening documentary.

Modern British dairy farms must get bigger and bigger or go under but Farmer Stephen Hook decides to buck the trend. Instead he chooses to have a great relationship with his small herd of cows and ignore the big supermarkets and dairies. The result is a laugh-out-loud emotional roller-coaster of a film, a heart warming tearjerker about the incredible bonds between man, animal and countryside in a fast disappearing England.
A look at man's relationship with Dirt. Dirt has given us food, shelter, fuel, medicine, ceramics, flowers, cosmetics and color --everything needed for our survival. For most of the last ten thousand years we humans understood our intimate bond with dirt and the rest of nature. We took care of the soils that took care of us. But, over time, we lost that connection. We turned dirt into something "dirty." In doing so, we transform the skin of the earth into a hellish and dangerous landscape for all life on earth. A millennial shift in consciousness about the environment offers a beacon of hope - and practical solutions.
