Depth of Field is a series of 40 short documentaries produced and presented by the National Farmers Union and March Forth Creative.
Over the years, educators have shared with us that they appreciate short evidence-based resources that help make connections between food systems and the curriculum. We’ve heard that short videos can be especially helpful, which is why we are excited to share these 10-minute videos, produced and presented by the National Farmers Union (NFU) and March Forth Creative, that showcase Canadian farmers and farm workers, and their sustainable farming practices on and off the land.
These videos are a great way to start the school year, sparking classroom conversations and providing inspiration to reach out and connect with your school comunity’s local food system.
Watch the trailer below, learn more about the Films about Farming project, or check out all the videos in the free film library.
If you’re in Ontario and are curious about how to connect these videos to the curriculum, check out Sustain Ontario’s website to find lesson plans on the importance of agriculture to biodiversity, ecosystems, and climate change and more!
