Description:

Eat More Trees brings together pioneers from around the world, from the Amazon rainforest to Spain, following their quest for a new form of agriculture. Their dream? To fill supermarkets with healthy and diverse products from agroforestry. Is this a utopian vision, or will they succeed in becoming a catalyst for lasting change? After all, reviving agriculture can save entire villages from neglect. The film intertwines the personal stories of Alfonso, Yanniek and Louis with broader, universal themes of regeneration, environment, sustainability and humanity's connection to the earth. We witness their daily struggles, their triumphs and setbacks and the growing impact of their work on their communities.
