Roots So Deep film - Waihi - 3 Dec

An inspiring, positive, data-driven, human, and good humoured film about Adaptive Grazing and its beneficial impact on ecosystems and farmers' pockets, while significantly increasing carbon in the soil. The filmmaker gathered a team of 20 scientists across multiple disciplines who did the 10 year research across five farm pairs - neighbouring farms where one was using adaptive grazing, and the other conventional grazing. The results speak for themselves.

There's no doubt that the effects of this film will ripple around the country in the coming months and years. There will be a Q&A session after the screening.

“This is, hands-down, the best agricultural filmmaking I've ever seen. The characters are all so likeable and captivating, the graphics are stunning, and I learned a ton about ecology… But none of that would matter without Peter Byck’s soul and empathy as a storyteller" Bill Weir, CNN
