A Farm for the Future
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/farm-for-the-future/
Wildlife film maker Rebecca Hosking investigates how to transform her family’s farm in Devon into a low energy farm for the future, and discovers that nature holds the key.
With her father close to retirement, Rebecca returns to her family’s wildlife-friendly farm in Devon, to become the next generation to farm the land. But last year’s high fuel prices were a wake-up call for Rebecca. Realising that all food production in the UK is completely dependent on abundant cheap fossil fuel, particularly oil, she sets out to discover just how secure this oil supply is.
Alarmed by the answers, she explores ways of farming without using fossil fuel. With the help of pioneering farmers and growers, Rebecca learns that it is actually nature that holds the key to farming in a low-energy future. (Excerpt from bbc.co.uk)

Hmm, the actual video seems to have vanished!
You can watch it here:

Or watch Nathan's original link if you can get it to work:

This site seems to have some sort of vendetta against this film!

This video is already on the site, but I think some people had problems viewing it, and after a great Film Night tonight, at which A Farm For The Future was shown, followed by some lively and thought-provoking discussion, I thought I'd put it on again.
