“Roots So Deep” Film Takes an Inspired New Look at Cattle Farming

Detail of the movie poster for Roots So Deep

Cattle have been called eco-villains for years.

But what if they could help restore our depleted soils, pull massive amounts of carbon out of the air, rebuild wildlife habitat, and even get farmers out of debt, all while mimicking the way bison once roamed the land?

On Monday, June 22, at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center, the regenerative farmers of Fairfield Good Earth Works are hosting a special screening of the groundbreaking documentary series Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there). Episodes 1 & 4 of the series will be shown at 7 p.m., followed by an open Q&A session. All are welcome.

Fairfield Good Earth Works writes, “This isn’t another doom-and-gloom film. It’s real stories of inventive farmers and maverick scientists who are proving, with hard science, that a smarter way to graze cattle can heal the land, fight climate change, and build a better future for all of us.

“Come see the science, hear the stories, and stay for the conversation. One night. One film. And a whole new way to look at the ground beneath our feet.

“Bring a farmer, a climate-curious friend, or anyone who cares about where our food comes from. Bring someone who thinks it’s ‘too late’—this will change their mind.”
