Go follow their work on Instagram: @asociacionalvelal • Deforestation, intensive agriculture, and bad soil management are accelerating the climate crisis in Spain and everywhere in Europe. To combat climate change, we will need more farmers to switch to regenerative practices and many more people to become (regenerative) farmers. • Belén and Leo are that new generation of farmers. They both studied at university in a big metropole. They are millennials. But a few years ago, they decided to return to their roots in rural Spain. Today they feel stigmatised by society for choosing to work in the rural sector despite their academic careers. • But they both remain determined with their choice: small-scale farmers produce 70% of the world's food. When young millennials move away from the countryside, there is nobody to regenerate deforested land and farmable soil is left to massive industries. • Leo and Belén want to prove that working in the rural sector is not just perfectly viable, also for millennials - but vital to saving our climate. Returning to their roots after years of academic studies, they are bringing back awareness for the role of small-scale farmers in protecting the world’s soils. • Learn more about Ecosia’s tree-planting project in Spain: • https://blog.ecosia.org/spain/ • _______________ • Director Producer Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic) • Creative director Pako Quijada (IG: @pakoquijada) and Fátima González-Torres • Script Fátima González-Torres • Research lead Fátima González-Torres • Cinematographer Shane Thomas McMilan (@dokumentarian) • Editing post-production Pako Quijada • Motion graphics animation Pako Quijada • Additional support Alvelal, our tree-planting partner in Spain • _______________ • Punch keys to plant trees!
