We Eat the Earth reveals the destabilising global impact of ­fertiliser production and the devastating ­environmental and ­socio-political ­consequences of its extraction, ­production and ­management. Finally, through its focus on a small, but expanding group of ­farmers ­committed to producing food ­without the use of fertiliser, the ­project also offers a hopeful view for the future of agriculture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrystal Bennes is an artist and writer based in Scotland.
