HOTB 288: review of the documentary "The Need to Grow"

Now, I mean this in only the nicest possible way. But sometimes I review a documentary so you don't have to watch the whole darn thing yourself. Unless you want to; which you may in this particular case.

I'm reviewing a documentary called "The Need to Grow", which tells us about two pioneers in the sustainability/save the planet field.

These two men are Eric Cutter and Mike Smith. Eric Cutter is a micro farmer who uses the latest technology to grow a whole bunch of organic produce on an urban plot. Mike Smith uses science to make electricity from algae and combine that with carbon technology to replenish the soil with microbes and nutrients. These two guys join forces to make the magic happen.

If you want to find out more about the importance of biodiversity, The Food Revolution Network people have reprinted an article on the subject, that can be found here.

If you would like to watch the documentary yourself, there are a few ways to get to it. You may still be able to get it free of charge by clicking here. 

If you want to look into some resources to find out what you could do in your community, check out the website of the documentary producers. The website can be found here.
