Soil is Life: Inspiration from a beautiful Italian Regenerative Farm in transition

Soil sustains all life on our planet. And yet, for decades, industrial farming practices have degraded and depleted the soil we depend on. It’s time for a change – and farmers like Matteo Mazzola and Paola Archetti are leading the way.


In this film, we take a tour of their farm on the stunning hillside above Lago d’Iseo, Italy, as Matteo explains how he’s promoting a healthy ecosystem from the soil up. Using low-cost, sustainable innovations alongside traditional farming techniques, Matteo and Paola are replenishing the land for generations to come – and proving that modern farming really needn’t cost the earth.
