"Roots So Deep" Screening & Discussion

Following the film, a panel of experts from Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, Princeton Hydro and Native Plants Healthy Planet Podcast will discuss the film and take questions.

“Roots So Deep” is a four-part documentary series about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves, heart and soil. Parts one and four will be screened at this event.

In the documentary, the question is asked, “Can an underutilized way to graze cattle, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land, help get farmers out of debt, restore our depleted soils, rebuild wildlife habitat and draw down huge amounts of carbon?”

“Roots So Deep” is guided by director and wrangler of scientists Peter Byck as he meets farmers on both sides of the fence – the folks practicing an adaptive way to graze, and their neighbors set in their family’s generations-old method of doing things. Byck’s team of outcast scientists are measuring what’s happening on both sides of the fences – exploring if this adaptive grazing could help slow down climate change.
