Farmed With Love

Meet Hou Xueying, a charming organic farmer near Shanghai who has defied her peers and built a successful operation where she grows rice, wheat and maize free from chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides. She raises ducks in her rice fields – they fertilize the crops, loosen the soil and kill pests. And it’s her dream to turn her farm into a school to teach children where vegetables come from. “Only conscious foodies can save the world,” she says at the film’s conclusion.
