Movie Reviews of How to Save the World
Movie Review: Maybe our only way out of a terrible mistake.
Summary: 5 Stars
This film shows how biodynamic farming offers a solution to stop and change a poisoned environment, both agriculturally and economically, in which our food is grown.
In biodynamic farming the soil is of the utmost importance and when you think about it the soil is where it all starts. After seeing this film you will never look at agricultural fields the same. You will be able to tell if it is well-managed land or poisoned with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides which kills the soil although the film is not a course in agriculture.
The film comes down to a single message: by using the chemicals mentioned above farmers, and food production as a whole, flow into a viscous circle where the only option to improve crop yield is to use more chemicals. Together with contracts offered by a number of multinational (GMO) seed companies to farmers in India and elsewhere, farmers are offered seeds that produce sterile crops with very low yields,trapping them in high debts and low production of chemical crops.
Biodynamic agriculture is a method to save our food production by a fully organic (no chemicals used) farming method that brings back the quality of the soil as it used to be and generate same or higher yields as conventional (read: chemical) agriculture. It may be our only way out of a terrible mistake.
It may help you to get a deeper understanding of how important this film and biodynamic farming is by watching `The future of food' (available from Amazon) and `The slow poisoning of India' (Google). Both documentaries show what happens if things do not change.
