With over a year in the making, telling New Zealand’s regenerative story, we’re thrilled to introduce Farmer’s Footprint New Zealand: The Film—a powerful journey into the heart of New Zealand’s regenerative movement.
This film is more than just a documentary; it’s a call to action. By reconnecting with farmers, soil, food, and community, we unlock the power of regeneration and restore health to our land, our people, and our future.
Industrial food production is causing one of the most significant health and environmental crisis of our time. Soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and declining public health are all symptoms of a broken system. If we want to restore our land while ensuring healthier outcomes for both New Zealanders and the global community, we must take bold action now.
Farmer’s Footprint NZ exists to tell the stories that matter. This film captures the resilience, innovation, and dedication of Kiwi farmers who are pioneering regenerative agriculture. It highlights:
Regenerative farming is not just a trend—it’s a movement towards restoring the balance between humans and nature. By focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and holistic land management, regenerative agriculture is proving that we can feed our communities while healing the planet.
The farmers featured in this film are not just growers; they are stewards of the land, ensuring its vitality for generations to come.
At Farmers’ Footprint NZ, we are storytellers, educators, and changemakers. We showcase the impact of ecological guardianship and demonstrate how regenerative farming strengthens our environment and rural communities.
But we can’t do it alone. As a non-profit, we rely on your support to continue telling these stories and driving real change. Your actions matter. The gates are open—join us in shaping a thriving future where regenerative is the standard for all Kiwis.
A healthier tomorrow starts today.
