Farming, Redefined

The promise of regenerative agriculture


Chances are that you've come across the term "regenerative" lately. From food packaging to skincare and fashion, it's popping up everywhere. Most often, though, it’s linked to agriculture. But what does regenerative agriculture truly mean? And can it actually fulfil its promises?

Our new documentary, Farming, Redefined challenges you to envision a new future for agriculture—one that aims to create a healthier, more resilient planet for generations to come.

Synopsis

We know our food system needs to change, but we’re missing a positive vision for the future. Regenerative agriculture could be part of that hopeful solution. But what is it, really?

In this new FoodUnfolded documentary, science journalist Silvia Lazzaris takes us on a journey around the world to find out. From Ernst Götsch’s lush syntropic farm in Bahia, Brazil—where once-barren land has been transformed into a thriving ecosystem—to Juntos Farm in Ibiza, where regenerative farming is strengthening communities, viewers will see the movement in action. 

But we don’t stop there–Silvia dives deeper, speaking with leading soil health and agroecology experts to examine if and how regenerative agriculture can truly deliver on its promises.
