The Living Land

We once were hunters and gatherers who ate grains and seeds...until we found out we could plant the seeds and--voila!--the agrarian revolution was born. Over the years our methods of agriculture have become more mechanical and product oriented, while our supply of farmable land has been relentlessly squandered. Here, appealing and articulate experts suggest it's time to wise up before we run out of soil, offering ideas for becoming part of the solution, while bolstering our resolve with mouth-watering shots of all the goodies that spring from soil that's been treated well. Not an alarm but a clarion call to change our perceptions of how we grow our food and treat the land, this sane, solid and optimistic documentary is highly recommended. Aud: H, P. (J. Reed)
