Up in Smoke. 

Slash-and-burn farming generates more carbon emissions annually than all global aviation put together. It is one of the biggest contributors to deforestation and global warming. It sits at the crossroads of two of the greatest threats to global stability: accelerating climate change and diminishing food security. In the documentary “Up in Smoke” filmmaker Adam Wakeling follows ecologist Michael Hands who has laboured for 25 years to find a solution to replacing slash & burn agriculture in equatorial rainforests. And he’s found it. He wants to introduce Honduran farmers to the inga tree, his solution to problems caused by slash and burn agricultural practices. NOW AVAILABLE TO WATCH ONLINE IN THE UK ON CHANNEL4-ON DEMAND HERE
