The title of Pamela Tanner Boll's new film,
To Which We Belong, comes from a quotation
by the author Aldo Leopold, early 20th conservationist and
environmentalist whose work has inspired generations of ecologists,
agrarians, and nature lovers. Leopold wrote, "We
abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to
us. When we see
land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with
love and respect."
In the film Boll features nine agricultural projects in the US
and abroad that are using regenerative techniques to restore soil,
water, wildlife, families, and communities––and to bring about a
paradigm shift from an extractive/industrial mindset to a more
nature-based approach.
