Humus
Soils are turning to dust. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), all of the world's arable land could be gone within 60 years. With the humility now required by the degree of planetary destruction, a couple of market gardeners are working to implement the great principles of nature in their gardens, in search of a new alliance with the living. Old and new knowledge guides them on this path, knowledge that reaffirms the complexity of an interdependent world, the result of billions of years of coevolution.

On the sidelines of this great gathering (COP15) on biodiversity, most of us are looking for hooks to give meaning to future directions to take. And yet... Some men and women near us - agroecologists - are calling on us to reflect on our relationships and to take care of the land with them on a daily basis. Their task is crucial and necessary, because not only do they foster the conditions for this biodiverse richness, but they contribute to healthy nourishment.
My opinion on this film is entirely emic: as a researcher, I was literally seized by these encounters in our fields, caught up in the stories of humans who seem to cultivate a new or rediscovered sensitivity by reinventing adapted practices.
HUMAN. François and Mélina are an example of this ecologization, this transformation of agronomic thought that upsets our separating and dualistic systems of thought. They are recomposing other ways of farming, based on an affection for the land, by rebuilding their links with nature, which they feel is running out of steam.
HUMILITY. With great sensitivity, I share this film with you because connecting us to these alternative farming systems is a peaceful, calming, concrete and simple way to connect.
