ABOUT THE FILM
Wes Jackson, a visionary scientist, farmer, and co-founder of The Land Institute, has spent his life pioneering a bold new approach to agriculture that challenges humanity to rethink its relationship with the Earth. Jackson has inspired a global movement toward sustainability and ecological harmony through his transformative work in perennial and natural systems agriculture.
This film takes viewers on an intimate journey through Jackson's life, from his humble beginnings in rural Kansas to his transformative vision of "natural systems agriculture." Featuring rare archival footage, insights from collaborators, and powerful moments from the prairie fields that inspired his life's work, the story weaves together personal passion, scientific innovation, humor, and the urgency of preserving Earth's fragile ecosphere.
"Prairie Prophecy" is a tribute to Wes Jackson's enduring legacy and a call to action for the next generation of farmers, scientists, and environmental stewards.
