Food, Earth, Happiness

Everything about modern, industrial farming as a for-profit system is going in the opposite direction of natural farming which is about working in harmony with the earth and the seasons of life. Ultimately, this disconnection from nature leads to much of the unhappiness we find in modern culture. This film offers an alternative viewpoint for social and environmental justice that begins with how we get our food and the ways that we experience happiness as members of this Earth community. Inspired by the work and philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka, artist Patrick M. Lydon (USA) and editor Suhee Kang (South Korea) spent four years meeting and studying with multiple generations of modern day natural farmers. The result is a film that weaves breathtaking landscapes and an eclectic original soundtrack together with stories and insights from an inspiring cast of natural farmers, chefs, and teachers. The film gives modern-day relevance to age-old ideas about more sustainable, regenerative, and harmonious ways of living with the earth. { read more }
