Into the Soil | The Wisdom of Regenerative Farming | Full Documentary
”A refreshing perspective on what it means to be wealthy” - Don Smith, Kiss the Ground
In the documentary ”Into the Soil” we follow Brigid LeFevre, who runs a community supported agriculture operation (CSO) in Järna, Sweden. In her biodynamic vegetable garden she focuses on fermenting the harvest in order to enrich it with nutritious lactic acid bacteria.
Brigid grew up in an anthroposophically inspired Camphill community in Northern Ireland where volunteers lived and worked together with people with special needs. It was a self-sufficient community where the local store brought in bulk organic produce and each household would write down their purchases - without any actual exchange of money.
Growing up in a place where food was separated from the economic market has had a big impact on Brigid’s philosophy as a farmer. And really, come to think about it, why is it that the global ups and downs of the economy should determine the operating practices of small scale local farms?
In Brigid’s garden it doesn’t. She grows and ferments vegetables for the members, who subscribe to her sauerkraut, kimchi and lacto fermented pickles, all year round. The members support this regenerative agriculture operation with money or hands-on help in the garden.
It’s a local, circular economy, which underpins an alive garden, buzzing and chirping, where the goal isn’t to turn a profit, but rather to make the soil more alive with the passing of each season.
Directed and produced by Mattias Olsson for Campfire Stories. Musical score composed by Arvid Rask. Sound design by Boris Laible and Jonas Källstrand. Financed in part by the Namaste Foundation.

it went terribly wrong for us. I regret it actually. We had a wonderful project and put in a tonne of work but wrecked our health .. most of my permaculture , self sufficiency friends lived sickly lives of rural poverty. we all started out optimistic tho. even those with huge amounts of money behind them became sickly .. Camphill was floundering last time i checked .. as is the whole steiner movement. they had no nerve to stand up to covid tyranny either sadly :(

I cannot explain how much I love this film. I want to live where she grew up. Especially when she said the food should not be in the realm of the economic market is so true. Personally, I think the only reason food is controlled by the economic market is that the government want to be in control and wants US to rely on THEM. If we came toegther, and created small communities that rely on each other is what needs to happen to create a better life and healthier enviroment. This is what needs to happen to live a happier life.

Ah this is pure idealistic horse shit. How does this translate to a city like London, Tokyo or Singapore? Are they all to starve because a few people with hippy ideologies don’t want huge production. And I am a no till, regenerative grower in Ireland. Nothing wrong with doing it for yourself but are all the farmers to feed the cities for free? Idealistic nonsense I fear

Exactly, and the government certainly do not want people living in communities growing their own food and self sufficient. Here in Australia, councils make it very difficult to establish Multiple Occupancies.. they are actively abolishing land sharing legislation. They want most people in the cities where they are easier to control. I left the city early last year and live in the bush, but unfortunately there's no health centred community here.

Everything about this video warms my heart inside. I have a very small garden in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and I feel these words to my core. My little garden is grown with polyculture practices sans a 4x4 garlic bed. I love it so much more this way. I see my garden as a treasure hunt and my soil is so happy with life. Earth to earth.

@@mythtree6348our specific approach might have, but as we see with 3.5 billion years of nature, the systems work. Just need to know how to remove ones self from the product/consumerism mindset and work with nature not against. I recommended Dr. Elaine Ingham, Dan Kittredge, Gabe Brown, Nicole Masters and Dr. Christine Jones to learn the appropriate methods and grow yourself to be ready for the natural farming journey. Managing the farm means nothing of the farmer isn't understanding the core concepts of soil caretaking
Thank you for giving me hope. Twenty-five years working on building up the wildlife ecosystem on part of my property was destroyed by the Canadian Trans Mountain Pipeline (for their temporary workspace) in less than 4 years. Just got a call from their rep who wants to remove the livestock protective fencing in order to destroy more of my property in order to "conveniently" carry out their "restorative" program. I refused. In another year they should be gone, and at the age of 69, I will start again. Thank you for giving me the will to do so.

Wonderful what you are doing and saying sister. I am not a farmer or growing anything out of soil but think similarly about what you said about not doing really the fermenting or growing. That it manifests or happen on its won. I feel same about most of the activities i am into. Being an architect helping a design for a place to actualize or a cook in my house cooking for myself or bunch of friends, it happens on its won. i.e. in cooking the fire does the most of the thing while i cut some vegetables or stir in the pot. Same goes for being an architect. Its a wonderful feeling leaving you out of the responsibility in some sense and rather being some one who is in wonder before the whole happening.

Thank you so much!
You are showing exactly what I missed. I did really feel every word you said and totally agree. I am aware of your Wisdom gained by not only knowing the bright side but also the darker side. This is important to be able to see clear contrast of those opposites.

We had a Camphill in upstate NY. Us girls were able to go to school at Hawthorne Valley near by. At least for a few years. Id give anything to be able to be a part of that community again. Im crying watching this with how badly i feel like ive wasted my life. Im in the process of trying to introduce pollinator plants and food plants to our very sandy soil. Its the only work i feel is worthy at this point. I mean, besides my rescue cats. Thank you🐝🐞🌱🌻

In recent years I have understood from my surrounding influences the lack of power existing in the speaking of “WE are destroying the planet. WE are deforesting the Amazon at an exponential rate. WE….fill in the blank.” I don’t see the woman in this video doing these harmful things yet she lumps herself into the WE way of speaking. In her life, she is coming from daily awareness and consciousness. To lump ourselves into these narratives isn’t true. Sure, I’m inspired to do better in my daily life, but I also grow my own food without chemicals, am part of a politically autonomous community, create less and less waste, and make an effort to restore the earth around me. I believe it’s important to be careful with our words when speaking about these topics. To empower the individual directly in their own lives.

Right. And that's what it's all about: taking another step in the direction of ecological balance and human sanity. And then another. But I think lumping us all into the "we" of misanthropy is easily done when considering that, even with all the steps one might have taken, there's still a long way to go for most people. I often feel that way about my own footprint in this world. But maybe you're right in that it does no good ...
Its so wonderful to feel alive in different ways
Glorious watch!!! My happiest place is in my garden. Thank you for splashing my day with joy!!!!

As an urban planner I’m also confused why people feel like hive cities are such a default. A solar punk garden world in which natural systems are understood are worked with in moderate densities could enough for where we are, and where we’re going.

Cities are about to become utter hell due to banks collapsing globally = economic chaos = food uncertainty due to the economic crash, the GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM and its effetcs on crops, massive crop losses, distribution of food, cost, food prices to skyrocket = hunger = hygiene issues, sanitation issues, infestations of rats, etc. Cities will be a nighmare soon. YT channel: Adapat 2030 for GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM videos/interviews.

The poetry of "solar punk garden". Love it!
I fear that if we where to all live this beautiful lifestyle that it would be destroyed by other powerful people because they cannot profit from our labour ..the financial system would be used to destroy this amazing way of life ...

This is the reality I'm trying to create with my home. I think more people should be investing in this model of agriculture. I didn't think much of it until my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Then you look and you see how dangerous all of these chemicals are and how bad they are for the world around you.

@@carolbarrett6492 not to worry - she's spraying one of the biodynamic preparations. I believe it's made from ground quartz crystals.
