Years of industrialized agriculture have been a major contributor to climate change. TO WHICH WE BELONG follows a new generation of farmers and ranchers, who seek to rebuild their businesses and their planet by embracing the interconnectedness of living things.
On land long depleted by monocultural crops, Trey Hill fills the fields with colorful tangles of plant life, revivifying the soil and bringing new richness to the harvest.
In Chihuahua, Mexico, ranchers like Alejandro Carrillo practice revolutionary techniques in cattle herding, carving out space for wildlife to thrive again.
And off the coast of Connecticut, Bren Smith re-seeds the ocean with kelp, mussels, oysters, and scallops, restoring ecosystems ravaged by commercial fishing.
Despite their difference in culture and location, these farmers and ranchers are rooted in the same belief: that working with nature, not against it, is the answer.
Science is showing us that if we draw down enough carbon from the sky back into the soil through regenerative agricultural practices, we can actually reverse climate change, bringing carbon dioxide down to pre-industrial revolution levels!
These unsung heroes just might save their livelihoods –and our world, while they're at it!
