Evolution of Organic @ Transitions Film Festival
From the makers of Fierce Green Fire, Evolution of Organic brings us the epic story of organic agriculture, told by those who built the movement: a motley crew of back-to-the-landers, spiritual seekers, and farmer’s sons and daughters who rejected chemical farming and set out to invent organic alternatives.
Organic has already gone mainstream, split into an industry oriented toward bringing organic to all people, and a movement that has realised a vision of sustainable agriculture.
It’s the most popular and successful outgrowth of the environmental impulse in the last fifty years.
After guiding us through the fascinating birth of the organic movement, the film throws its lens on the exciting future of organic farming and agriculture.
We hear stories about a new generation of farmers who are building no-till urban farms in the most unlikely places. We learn about eco-fashion Latino growers, ingenious ways of combining salmon and rice farming for increased production, and the massive potential of organic Carbon farming for climate restoration.
From a fascinating birth to a powerful future, the potential of organic agriculture to regenerate the world we live in can no longer be ignored.

Feedback/Comments
Fabulous documentary on how Organics evolved in America and why we should be looking after our soil to help reduce climate change. Go organic for a healthy lifestyle now and in the future!
Loved the subject matter. For anyone with an interest in organics or food supply generally, this USA story leaves us with lots to think about. The Transitions program looks excellent.
