Paved Paradise is a playful, Dutch documentary about a serious problem: the loss of biodiversity due to human use of land. Biologist Hidde Boersma goes on a journey of discovery with filmmaker Karsten de Vreugd to unravel the current agricultural problems. His point: organic farming cannot be the solution for everything, because we lack land for that in the Netherlands. This results in a refreshing documentary in an optimistic tone, which leads to a surprising solution to this problem.
How do we create room for nature while feeding a growing population? Adam Calo (Radboud University) studies how we can change our food system to make room for biodiversity. He discusses perspectives on the future of land use with filmmaker Karsten de Vreugd and science journalist Hidde Boersma.
