00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:03.480 align:center line:84%
Human beings have faced
many important questions

00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:04.770 align:center line:90%
throughout time.

00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:07.950 align:center line:84%
But there's one that's been
with us from the very beginning,

00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:10.140 align:center line:90%
what's for dinner?

00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:13.890 align:center line:84%
The answer goes
beyond our plates.

00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:18.850 align:center line:84%
Food shapes our cultures, our
economies, our very planet.

00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:21.270 align:center line:84%
But not always in
a positive way.

00:00:21.270 --> 00:00:23.340 align:center line:84%
Many of our current
production methods

00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:25.890 align:center line:84%
are actually harming
nature, which

00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:27.990 align:center line:84%
in turn harms our
ability to keep

00:00:27.990 --> 00:00:30.270 align:center line:90%
growing food in the future.

00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:32.530 align:center line:84%
But it doesn't have
to be that way.

00:00:32.530 --> 00:00:36.210 align:center line:84%
We can produce food in ways
that nurture the planet.

00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:39.300 align:center line:84%
That's the whole point behind
regenerative food systems,

00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:42.030 align:center line:84%
to produce food in ways
that don't just avoid harm

00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:45.450 align:center line:84%
but actively restore nature,
reversing some of our damage

00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:46.350 align:center line:90%
to the planet.

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:47.460 align:center line:90%
'

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:49.950 align:center line:84%
Let's widen the lens and
look at things from a broader

00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:53.440 align:center line:84%
perspective and see how
everything is connected

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:56.260 align:center line:84%
from the tiniest
soil-enriching microbes,

00:00:56.260 --> 00:00:59.140 align:center line:84%
all the way to fields,
farms, fisheries,

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:00.910 align:center line:84%
and the whole chain
of actors designed

00:01:00.910 --> 00:01:03.020 align:center line:90%
to bring food to our tables.

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:08.450 align:center line:84%
It's not us and nature, we're
all part of the same system.

00:01:08.450 --> 00:01:12.850 align:center line:84%
But this system is in dire
need of transformation.

00:01:12.850 --> 00:01:16.330 align:center line:84%
Regenerative food systems help
the world's farmers, fishers,

00:01:16.330 --> 00:01:20.270 align:center line:84%
and ranchers to restore nature
by doing what they do best,

00:01:20.270 --> 00:01:22.420 align:center line:90%
providing people with food.

00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:24.850 align:center line:90%
What does this look like?

00:01:24.850 --> 00:01:28.420 align:center line:84%
On land, using cover crops
between harvests or planting

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:32.020 align:center line:84%
crops without tilling the soil
helps restore the complex soil

00:01:32.020 --> 00:01:36.130 align:center line:84%
biology farms need to produce
food for many years to come.

00:01:36.130 --> 00:01:37.660 align:center line:90%
Know what else it does?

00:01:37.660 --> 00:01:41.710 align:center line:84%
Reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and water pollution.

00:01:41.710 --> 00:01:44.410 align:center line:84%
At sea, aquaculture,
the practice

00:01:44.410 --> 00:01:47.050 align:center line:84%
of growing food in the
water, can be a real game

00:01:47.050 --> 00:01:49.030 align:center line:90%
changer when it's done right.

00:01:49.030 --> 00:01:52.420 align:center line:84%
Consider oysters, you don't
even have to feed them.

00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:56.050 align:center line:84%
They get their nutrients by
actually filtering the water,

00:01:56.050 --> 00:01:59.500 align:center line:84%
improving the quality of
their environment as they eat.

00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:03.160 align:center line:84%
Or seaweed, it stores carbon
and helps fight climate change

00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:06.160 align:center line:90%
without even leaving the seabed.

00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:09.699 align:center line:84%
And while these terms may
be new, the methods are not.

00:02:09.699 --> 00:02:11.440 align:center line:84%
Indigenous people
have been using

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:13.960 align:center line:84%
many of these nurturing
practices for thousands

00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:15.660 align:center line:90%
of years.

00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:18.470 align:center line:84%
And that's just a drop in
the ocean of possibilities

00:02:18.470 --> 00:02:20.990 align:center line:84%
that regenerative food
systems can offer,

00:02:20.990 --> 00:02:24.590 align:center line:84%
as they actively embrace the
diversity that makes food

00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:28.400 align:center line:84%
so much more than just eating
and growing so much more

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.110 align:center line:90%
than just producing.

00:02:30.110 --> 00:02:33.890 align:center line:84%
We now face a choice, one that
goes beyond our daily dinner.

00:02:33.890 --> 00:02:35.960 align:center line:84%
Do we stick with
our current menu

00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.160 align:center line:84%
or do we give nature
a seat at the table?

00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:54.000 align:center line:90%
