Inspiring and outstandingly up front. June 11, 2008
Anyone concerned with life in this planet should see this movie. The best I've watched on biodynamics.
Self sufficiency in a Peak Oil world April 25, 2008
In a world of rapidly growing population and dwindling resources, this film offers hope. Modern agriculture is the process of turning petroleum into food via fertilisers, pesticides and the use of powerful tractors. But as oil and gas production begins to decline, and soils become exhausted, the world faces an imminent food crisis. The recent oil spikes and food price inflation of 2008 herald the disaster to come. However, Peter Proctor shows how soils can be rebuilt and crop yields boosted again by bio-dynamic methods that begin with composting based on cow manure. One farmer at at time, he is rebuilding the food production capacity of India, with a view to spreading the methods world-wide. But time is short. This could be the most important film you ever see. An inspirational film for all interested in Organic food, Environmentalism, Peak Oil and Self-Sufficency.
How to Save the World February 27, 2008
The DVD presents an inspiring picture of the work that Peter Proctor has done in India. I just returned from visiting one of the farmers who he has trained in India and it is clear to me that Peter was very successful in sharing the power of Biodynamics. I was most impressed .
Surprisingly Entertained January 28, 2008

Highly recommended for those interested in: our food supply, a solution to GMO farming, and GMO farmings long term effects on the soil, environment and farmers. In an entertaining way, it illustrates an active solution taking place in India right now; and is inspiring to watch. I also recommend "The Future of Food" to further understand the problem. Both are entertaining and can educate you on what is really happening to food and farmers in the USA and other countries. You will feel better, knowing a solution does exist after watching this movie!
Maybe our only way out of a terrible mistake. January 1, 2008

This film shows how biodynamic farming offers a solution to stop and change a poisoned environment, both agriculturally and economically, in which our food is grown.
In biodynamic farming the soil is of the utmost importance and when you think about it the soil is where it all starts. After seeing this film you will never look at agricultural fields the same. You will be able to tell if it is well-managed land or poisoned with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides which kills the soil although the film is not a course in agriculture.
The film comes down to a single message: by using the chemicals mentioned above farmers, and food production as a whole, flow into a viscous circle where the only option to improve crop yield is to use more chemicals. Together with contracts offered by a number of multinational (GMO) seed companies to farmers in India and elsewhere, farmers are offered seeds that produce sterile crops with very low yields,trapping them in high debts and low production of chemical crops.
Biodynamic agriculture is a method to save our food production by a fully organic (no chemicals used) farming method that brings back the quality of the soil as it used to be and generate same or higher yields as conventional (read: chemical) agriculture. It may be our only way out of a terrible mistake.
It may help you to get a deeper understanding of how important this film and biodynamic farming is by watching `The future of food' (available from Amazon) and `The slow poisoning of India' (Google). Both documentaries show what happens if things do not change.
