He talks about how the film aims to give "farmers the confidence and practical know-how to adopt nature-friendly farming practices; gives consumers the impetus to rethink food choices and information about how to buy and support agroecologically produced food; and to create a groundswell of opinion resulting in policy change and public and private funding for a British agroecological transition".
