The Future of Food Production – Short Documentary by Bayley Pilling
The Future of Food Production is a short documentary by Bayley Pilling, a 15-year-old who has captured the urgency and importance of growing your own food.
In this 28-minute video, this young student addresses the current failings of conventional agricultural systems and interviews individuals in his local area who are striving to make a difference; those with solutions, who are living the change and growing their own food.
It is really worth watching.
This video is in the finals of the Noosa International Film Festival and will be officially screened as part of the festival on the 5th of November, 2016.

Is amazing !!!!!
This is an important topic. There is a real need to examine our practices. The beginning of this film is full of false claims not supported by scientific evidence mixed in with important truths. For example, corn has not lost a large percentage of its nutrients 20 minutes after it is harvested. The medical community has no science saying everyone will have cancer in the near future. I heard so many false or misleading statements in the first 5 minutes that at first I just turned it off. I then felt I should watch the rest and saw some great content. A film presented as a documentary needs to be thoroughly fact checked. The truth is the ethical way to reach people. I feel this film does real damage to the credibility of permaculture if it starts off with untruths to get people interested in change. The truth is enough reason to change so lets stick to that.
I completely agree, I had to stop watching after I heard the part about every 1 in 2 people having cancer and chemicals everywhere. Sorry but that is just preposterous and that is a big issue with permaculture, there are a lot of people speaking out who are not doing basic fact checks.
I think this is fantastic for a 15 year old…..gives me much hope for the future.
Inspiring! Thank you to all for sharing your example of a healthier & more sustainable way to live.
