Synopsis

According to the FAO, the world’s topsoil could be gone within 60 years, worn away by erosion. With the humility the degree of planetary destruction calls for, a pair of market gardeners are striving to implement the great principles of nature in their gardens, on a quest for a new alliance with the living.
