Drastic Land Rehabilitation & Healing the Earth with Animals with Pamela Boll, Producer and Director of To Which We Belong

To Which We Belong executive producer and director, Pamela Boll, joins us today to explore the documentary, which weaves together 9 stories of people all across the world who work with the land and the ocean to reverse climate change and grow healthier, more nutritious food. We explore before and afters of drastic land rehabilitation, addressing the helpless/trapped feelings a lot of younger generations are experiencing right now with action, working regeneratively with animals in the landscape, and how to use the film to talk to family and friends about implementing practices that actually help HEAL the landscape. This film is making huge waves in the world and we’re thrilled to explore some of these concepts even deeper! The stories in the film are told in such a compelling and beautiful way, and you’ll be left with inspiration, resources, and hope.

Explanation of Holistic management - realizing that thinning animals didn’t help the environment, what’s actually needed for grasslands is herbivores moving as they would historically - closely bunched and moving because of predator presence. Grasslands are 40% of our Ag land around the world - if we can keep them healthy, they draw down CO2 which improves the health of the soil and the water cycles We can create an army of people solving the greatest climate crisis of our times - Addressing the helpless/trapped feelings a lot of younger generations have. Regenerative ocean farming - very affordable to get space in the ocean to work with, sequesters carbon. Greenwave trainings great place to start Carbon credit system for farmers to be compensated for drawing down carbon from other industries by using regenerative practices. Can also get compensated for appropriately using Unintended consequences of human-made solutions How to use the film to talk to family and community members about implementing regenerative practices Pamela’s vision for the future - it’s not outer space, it’s on Earth!
