TO WHICH WE BELONG is a documentary that highlights farmers and ranchers leaving behind conventional practices that are no longer profitable or sustainable.
These unsung heroes are improving the health of our soil and sea to save their livelihoods — and our planet.
“When soils become healthy & alive, it’s a win-win-win scenario for farmers, for society, and the world.”
-Michael Doane, The Nature Conservancy
“We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
-Aldo Leopold
