Every twelve years the Earth’s population grows by one billion. As the demand for them rises, natural resources are being depleted. Thus, in the course of the millennia, formerly fertile lands have turned into drained and barren wastelands. This has been primarily caused by pasturage and waste and inefficiency in agriculture. By 1995, John D. Liu, cameraman and environmentalist, had already started to monitor the ways our planet could be regreened. In the Chinese province of the Loess Plateau, Liu met Geoff Lawton, the designer of the Permaculture project. Permaculture is a system that aims to build an efficient and sustainable ecosystem, which does not depend on human labour. Drawing upon his experience from China, John D. Liu travels the world with one goal: to convert areas devastated by agriculture into sustainable and fertile places. He tries to teach the local farmers that short-term interests in the form of profi t should be considered as secondary to long-term sustainability. Restoring the green areas will not only help fight poverty and hunger in the world, but it will also contribute to cultural, social and educational development. (Academia Film Olomouc)
