Hello Everybody,

I was wondering if anybody had any good introductory videos to sustainable agriculture/industrial food systems? 

At City Green in NJ, we run a High School internship program, and we want to show a 20-40 minute video as part of our orientation program (assuming no prior knowledge on the subject!). Ideally, we would want a publicly accessible video so YouTube or Vimeo ideal are idea, but any Netflix/Prime suggestions are welcomed too! 

(We used to show the film "Nourish" but that is feeling very outdated.)

Thanks for your help!

All the best,

Emma Latham (she/her)

“Kiss the ground” on Netflix is very good. They also have a soil course with many other recommended videos and readings that explain the importance of maintaining healthy soil to reverse climate change. 

Kind regards,

Haha I would also recommend Kiss the Ground!! I have watched it a few times and my teens actually enjoy it!
Also The Biggest Little Farm is amazing! Similar length to Kiss the Ground but focuses on one farm and how they do everything sustainability and with regenerative farming practices.

There are also free, downloadable lessons to go with Kiss the Ground at: https://kisstheground.com/soil_story_curriculum_free_download/ - Designed for Middle, but could likely be adapted for HS. 

Hope that’s helpful!
