How to Save The World
What would an environmentally friendly biodynamic food system that feeds everyone really look like? This film is a blueprint for the post-industrial era. It will take you into the center of the most important Renaissance in the world.
The outcome of India’s struggle for control of agriculture could determine the future of the planet. Modern industrial agriculture is destroying the planet: desertification, water scarcity, toxic mixtures of agrochemicals seeping into our food chain, collapse of marine ecosystems, erosion and massive loss of soil fertility.
Our ecosystem is overwhelmed. Humanity’s growing needs exceed the planet’s carrying capacity. A simple recipe for saving the world? An old man and a bucket of cow dung. are you crazy?
Modern agriculture removes topsoil at a rate of 3 million tons per hour. (26 billion tons per year) Human matter displaces biomass and other species. Earth’s carrying capacity is nearly exhausted. In order to maintain our comfort zone lifestyle, we will soon need five Earths to maintain the lifestyle we have become accustomed to.
The slogan of free trade has failed the world’s poor. There is a better way. Biodynamic agriculture may be the only answer left for us.
