Growing and processing food, and packaging and bringing it to us all use enormous amounts of energy, water, and chemicals. Innovators are exploring solutions to the problems of growing our food while responding to climate change.

Their stories challenge us all: If we change the way we eat, can we save our planet?  

The four short films are available on one DVD. Individual episodes are available for academic streaming on Docuseek. 

The episodes are:

Food from the Air 9:35 mins
Lisa Dyson is the founder and CEO of Air Protein, a company driven by ambitions almost as vast as space itself. As the 4th African American woman ever to earn a doctorate in physics, Lisa is well-equipped to take on its extraordinary mission: to create food from pure elements of the air.

Healing the Land 8:39 mins
Follows six months of animal life on Wild Harmony Farm, a 40-acre organic livestock spread run by Rachael Slattery and her husband Ben. Where conventional industrial agriculture runs on pesticides, herbicides and animals raised in warehouses, the couple practices regenerative farming, prioritizing soil health, biodiversity, and healthy livestock raised outdoors.

Native Roots 8:05 mins
This inspiring video tells the remarkable story of Shyla Sheppard, the first Native American woman to own a brewery. Set against the backdrop of a white male-dominated industry and pervasive racism, her journey is one of resilience, determination, and cultural pride.

Seeds of Resilience 9:08 mins
Together, Sarah Montgomery and indigenous Mayan activists work to reclaim an important cultural heritage: amaranth, the tall, leafy grain long derided in the United States as "pigweed," that may just offer a sustainable grain alternative to the pressing climate challenges on our monolithic, industrialized food systems.
