“A man, a cow, a planet” – documentary film

<>The documentary film “One Man, One Cow, One Planet”, with and about Peter Proctor, the father of biodynamic agriculture in New Zealand, with the original title “One Man, One Cow, One Planet” shows us what globalization really is: an ecological and human disaster. Modern industrial agriculture destroys the Earth and causes desertification, water shortages, the introduction of toxic substances into the diet, the destruction of ocean ecosystems, soil erosion and decreased fertility. How, however, could we have a biodynamic ecological system that would be able to provide food for everyone?

This film tries to answer this question and takes as an example the situation in India, where a few farmers have adopted a system of biodynamic agriculture with Peter Proctor as a mentor, saving poisoned lands and standing against the colonialism of multinational corporations. Health starts with a healthy diet, and a healthy diet is only possible by growing on clean soils. Whether we like it or not, our existence is inexplicably linked to the well-being of the planet. This documentary film is the impressive story of one man’s efforts to educate Indian farmers about the benefits of returning to traditional farming.
