Granite Borders Landcare in association with the Tenterfield Film Society proudly presents Roots So Deep, the ground improving documentary movie all about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves, heart and soil.



About the Documentary

Roots So Deep is a collaboration between graziers using adaptive and traditional approaches with scientists documenting the Adaptive Multi-Paddock rotational land cycle approach to cattle grazing in America.


The documentary asks the question, can an underutilised way to graze cattle, that mimics the way cattle once roamed the land, help get farmers out of debt, restore our depleted soils, rebuild wildlife habitat and draw down huge amounts of carbon? Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help save us from catastrophic climate change?


Join director and wrangler of scientists Peter Byck as he meets farmers on both sides of the fence – the folks practicing an adaptive way to graze, and their neighbours set in their family’s generations-old method of doing things.


Byck’s team of scientists are measuring what’s happening on both sides of the fences, exploring if this adaptive grazing could help slow down climate change.


About the Director - Peter Byck

Byck is a professor of practice at Arizona State University, in both the School of Sustainability and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism.


He is the director, producer and writer of Carbon Nation, a documentary film about climate change solutions and Carbon Cowboys, a 10-part documentary short film series, focused on regenerative grazing.
