- 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 Gotsch’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.
Farming, Redefined is a groundbreaking documentary that invites you to imagine a future for agriculture grounded in restoration, education, and a healthier planet for generations to come.

“My philosophy about what to do in the world isn’t to go to a pristine area and live there and enjoy your life; it’s to find a place that’s degraded and fix it up” - Robert Guyton🖖
Bravo! The exact same philosophy Bill Mollison had.
Que maravilha! Agricultura Sintropica em Santaluz e Região do Sisal vem forte! Rede Baiana de Agrofloresta (RBA) Presente. Vamos juntos reflorestar esse mundo. Paz e bençãos.
Excellent documentary! Highly recommended
Great job on the effort! As a techie myself, I've also ventured into organic farming. It’s a refreshing perspective with valuable insights.
That was a very beautiful docummentary, thank you for your great work. Perhaps one thing that we need to focus on more (and educating people about) in the regeneration movement is other measurements besides carbon sequestration. We need the biodiverse, rich and complex ecosystems that syntropic farming fosters not just because of better carbon sequestration, but because they restore the broken water cycle, help modulate weather, improve biodiversity... Or better yet: because they bring more life. Life is what this is all about. More life means more resilience, beauty and, in Ernst Gotsch's words, inner pleasure. There will be more farmers in the upcoming decades if we're able to reconnect to the pleasure of taking care of the land. This is what we were meant to do in this amazing planet. In regenerative-syntropic farming we can find a path not just to survival but also, and more importantly, to living a purposeful, happy life. Look at the interviewed farmers' faces. That's human life lived at its fullest.
Hi there, we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the documentary🙂 As for your statement, very well said!
Very beautiful documentary, thank you
Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
We are blessed and spoiled.
Ernst's experience is inspiring! Most current regenerative and organic practices are sourcing a lot of materials from afar, e.g. dumping compost from organic matter extracted from nature elsewhere. It's unclear how we can close the nutrient cycle with our limited space and outgrown needs. But we have to try to reduce our footprint.
Beautiful work. Made me feel better in this sad period of my life
Great perspective on a complex topic. Thanks.
Very clear. Inspirational documentary.
Thanks @elizabethhart848!
I needed a little good news. This gives me hope. Thanks!
Very happy to hear that David!
@@foodunfolded I agree. To see someone that is such an honorable man, doing good in this world, that is definitely a good news. I am enjoying this.
I was waiting for a documentary like this! Thank you ❤
Beautiful inspiring movie that shows how much you guys care in every sequence, every transition and every image.
Thank you for spreading this seed 🙏
Thank you @RubenGT, glad you enjoyed the documentary!
23:48 "What is the first human right? It's to be serviceable to life." 💚
Beautiful film on Regenerative Agriculture, putting an emphasis on the philosophy of it is always better than the method to do it. Because regenerative agriculture or permaculture or syntropic argiculture works on the context of where you farm. This can change a lot even if you are 5 miles/3 km from another farm. You never really choose what you farm, the ground will make that choice for you. If you try without success a plant/perennial/tree, change it because you should only cultivate the "weedy" one (the fruit tree that grow like a weed) and nature only attacks the weak plants.
Again, great job on the film !!
Hi there, thank you for your comment! We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed the documentary 🙂
¡Buenísimo!!!! Muchas gracias por cada agricultor detrás de este hermoso documental
This was beautifully done, and I hope you reach a broad audience with it. Too many of us maintain delusions that we are something outside of nature, apart from our ecosystems, and that has led to fouling our nests and killing the soil beneath our feet. It's time to remember that we are part of the cycles, part of the systems, and give nurture for nurture.
Having worked with Ernst I can say that if he would call it regenerative he would set the bar so high that no highly mechanized and corporate farming could claim that term. They are all entropic rather than syntropic.
Habe euch erste gerade entdeckt und bin begeistert, so ein schön gestalteter informativer Film, Danke!
Vielen Danke!
You were very good and clear. Well done!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Very good video, thank you.
Bellissimo ducumentario.Davvero grazie!
thank you! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed 😃
Great work, Silvia :)
When it comes to worrying about defining terms there is a fundamental issue in language. Terms and Words never stay still and static, any attempt to do so grows stale, or worse damaging. In lines with regenerative agriculture being a process rather than a set of rules, the way we look at language and our symbols is a process. So long as individuals truly engage with their communities, with open discussion and dialogue: We will not need to write a definition, we can feel one.
I ws thinking of Gabe Brown and his journey in my head as the standard of being the new leader of regenative. Now once bloggers and government grabs ahold of the buzz word, well adjectives as propaganda can change . Grow your own herbs at home is my suggestion.
If you come to Australia you will see regenerative farming being practised on farms that are 10s of thousands of hectares. It’s a very practical solution for cattle farming and is also being practised for sheep, wheat and other major products.
It's beautiful! Owning a piece of land and managing it in a regenerative, permaculture-inspired way is my dream.
As a horticulturist in the UK, it saddens me that perhaps only 5% of our clients genuinely care about nature. Many of them have large spaces, but their desire to keep everything meticulously tidy leaves no room for the wildness that nature needs to thrive.
I hope for a future where more people understand that embracing a little messiness-letting wildflowers grow, creating habitats for insects, and allowing life to flourish-can transform gardens into sanctuaries not just for people, but for the planet as well. Every small step towards coexistence with nature is a step toward healing our world.
3:35 An amazing legacy 3 mins in..
8:23 how could they think this was the right way after the dust bowls of 1920's ..
This is why I decided to become an Eco terrorist. The municipality where I live uses poisons through sub contractors to spray poison in fields and this kills bio diversity. So I stared growing a Fig tree that I have now planted in a park near my home. I am also planting purslane in various places. Now I am starting a Mulberry tree to plant somewhere else, as long as I live I will plant fruit trees as far and wide as I can. I am planning to grow a lot more fruit trees and plant them far and wide in my local area.
Great presentation.Corporations are only interested in Profits not caring for the land and the ecosystem.
👍👍👍
"The Man Who Planted Trees"- Jean Giono
Farmers talk about growing soil, rather than growing cattle. Good soil produces good food.
It is called 'Regenerative' because it regenerates the soil. Re-establishes its fulcrum role in land management. Without vibrant, alive soil there is nothing. Except ignorance.
need a better title
unsustainable farming is human sacrafrice
The dude literally changed the weather by working with nature. 👏👏👏 Proof that what we do to the environment changes how the earth behaves. Work with nature, not against it. 🤌💚
Hey there, thanks for your comment! His work is extremely inspiring, we're glad to hear you thought so too 😀
