We’re excited to introduce the second installment of our series, Tierra Preservada. This series will feature three short films that highlight the incredible stories of farmers and communities committed to sustainability and conservation.
In this second documentary, Roots of Resilience, we take you to Colombia, where we meet inspiring farmers such as Albeiro Guerrero, Rigoberto Diez, Raquel Burbano, and Alba Jacqueline Criollo. Through their stories, you’ll explore the vital role of agroecological practices, biodiversity, and women’s leadership in farming.
In Roots of Resilience, you’ll discover:
- How innovative methods allow farmers to cultivate the land while preserving natural resources.
- The crucial role that trees, birds, and bees play in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
- The impact of climate change on agriculture, and how farmers are adapting to safeguard their crops.
- The importance of empowering women in agriculture and fostering leadership in their communities.
Each story in Roots of Resilience offers a powerful and hopeful perspective on sustainable farming in the face of global challenges. Our documentary not only showcases the breathtaking landscapes of Colombia but also highlights the deep commitment of these farmers to protect the environment and strengthen their communities. Their resilience, innovation, and leadership are shaping a sustainable future for generations to come. Through their experiences, we are reminded that the choices we make today can have a lasting, positive impact on the world tomorrow.
