Isabelle met Dikte Reeh Andersen at Klimafolkemødet (The Climate Festival), where she and others from CUHRE (Centre for Understanding Human Relationships with the Environment) at SDU (University of Southern Denmark) had arranged a series of inspiring activities around regenerative farming and gardening. The two connected and eventually decided to arrange a screening and Q&A at the university in Odense. Josephine Ottesen from PACA (Mobilizin Post-Anthropocentric Climate Action) at SDU as well as Sara Mosberg from IDMU (Design, Media and Educational Science) joined in, and the event took place on February 4.
The film was followed by an enriching debate, where perspectives were exchanged, and important questions about the role of farming in meeting some of the enormous challenges we are facing were discussed. Two key words were “complexity” and “community”. They are important words to take with us into the future.
The content of the film is particularly interesting in relation to CUHRE’s project ‘Digging for the Climate’, which investigates how a regenerative approach to gardening can help promote eco-education in the Danish population. The very reason we made the film is to eco-educate, so that really resonates with us.
We were touched by the fact that some of the participants expressed how the film had brought tears to their eyes when seeing how much beauty humans can create by tapping into natural intelligence and the biological processes.
