Donne Di Terra' (Women Of The Land)

About

+ 'Not for Sale' Dir. Becky Hutner

DONNE di TERRA are a group of new-generation farmers, active in various areas of southern Italy. They are farmers, breeders and educators, who have created a new lifestyle based on the self-production of organic food and the creation of a local and global network that revolves around the land. Each of them produces sustainability and memory in their own territory, together with organic garden products, oils, preserves, cheeses, communities and traditions. Five stories that tell of a change: each of them has come to the land and created a system of self-sustainability, changing their relationship with consumption and the environment.

Doris, Mariapia, Nanà, Marialuisa and Maura; the stories of these women are the shareable and reproducible example of a choice, that each of us today is called to make. But going through a personal transformation is necessary to implement the change.

Devon farmer Andy Bragg makes a radical decision on behalf of his soil.
Andy Bragg - West Town Farm - tells his life story and shares the reasons he chose to donate his organic, pasture based farm in Devon to the community-owned organisation - the Fordhall Community Land Initiative.

Andy says: ""They're in Shropshire, and we're in Devon - that's 200 miles away, but actually it would be like two Oak trees growing up together; very similar, far apart, but growing together.""
