in the FBC Sanctuary

Regenerating the world’s soils has the potential to rapidly stabilize Earth’s Climate, restore lost ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies. This 87-minute film, nominated for Best Documentary of 2023,  explains why transitioning to regenerative agriculture could be the key in rehabilitating the planet. It has been made available through Interfaith Power & Light and Roco Films without cost for Faith Climate Action Week. We will receive a freewill offering to support the work of Interfaith Power and Light and Eloheh, an indigenous, regenerative farm in Yamhill.
