Our Seeds (2008) | Watch Documentary Free Online
"Our Seeds" addresses the problems of
globalised food based on hybrids that require pesticides and synthetic
fertilisers. The film shows how individuals and small groups have solved
these problems. A celebration of the seed keepers that stand at the
source of humanity's diverse food heritage.
A documentary on traditional diets and how they are grown and eaten in
eleven countries: Spain, France, Italy, India, Sri Lanka, China,
Vietnam, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. The film explores
the relationship between traditional biodiversity and traditional
culture in the wide-ranging locations and shows that there are the same
problems and solutions in each of them.
It is a David and Goliath story where resilience and persuasive logic triumph over seemingly invincible corporate agribusiness.
This one hour documentary will help you if you are presenting the idea of a Local Seed Network in your region.
French, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese subtitles.
