"Eat More Trees" Movie Night

On Tuesday, December 1, Tuin de Es and Vermeer Duurzame Diensten invite you to a screening of the documentary “Eat More Trees” at Tiliander, Oisterwijk. An inspiring film about a different future for our agriculture, in which trees, food production, and soil restoration go hand in hand.

What if we could produce food and restore the soil at the same time?

“Eat More Trees” takes viewers on a journey from the Amazon rainforest to European farmlands. Among others, we follow Dutch filmmaker Yanniek Schoonhoven, who, together with her husband, is working in Murcia, in southern Spain, to restore 1,100 hectares of degraded land.

Food box expert and regenerative agriculture pioneer Louis De Jaeger explores how trees and perennial crops can become part of a different agricultural system. The film shows how agroforestry can contribute to healthier soils, stronger ecosystems, and agriculture that is more resilient to drought and heat.

The documentary by director Arne Focketyn is 80 minutes long and premiered in 2026.

Program:

Pre-event – 6:00 p.m. (optional)
