Synopsis

This is a story about a diplomat-turned-farmer, Ms. Zhang, who's leading a one-woman crusade to implement her philosophy of sustainable farming. She’s transformed a chemical-polluted area into organic farmland and supported it by selling the produce to city consumers. Will her initiative become sustainable and provide a possible solution for other heavily pesticide- and fertilizer-polluted farmlands in China? Following her story, the film explores the endangered Chinese food system, and observes the dilemmas of land use and food consumption. It also reflects on the low social status and limited income of Chinese farmers. Will sustainable farming bring change for them too?
