Paved Paradise

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, because we need more land to produce the same amount of food. This results in a refreshing documentary in an optimistic tone, which leads to a surprising solution to this problem back in time in the mid eighties in Costa Rica.
