Screening event for the documentary 'Trees in my fields'

About the film
'Trees in my fields' (original title: Bomen op mijn land) is a documentary directed by Dutch filmmaker Joris van der Kamp. The film focuses on how farmers in Belgium and France are transforming agriculture through agroforestry systems. It showcases the tremendous potential of this system to enhance biodiversity, improve food security, and elevate the quality of life.
Three farms, three hopes
Director Joris van der Kamp vividly captures the lives and work of three European farmers throughout the seasons. From a multifunctional farm, to a cattle and dairy farm, and finally to a food forest, these farmers are integrating trees with agriculture. This approach not only boosts biodiversity and sustainable farming but also enriches the lives of the farmers themselves.
This film is more than just an exploration of agricultural transformation; it is a beautiful vision of humanity living in harmony with nature. Through agroforestry, these farmers have discovered sustainable methods that allow them to grow alongside the land, rediscovering the joy of working with nature.
