“The question is not, can we afford to farm more focused on the ecosystem? It’s, can we afford to keep farming the way we’re farming now,” said Will Harris, a fourth-generation Georgia farmer and rancher.

That question framed an Oct. 15 panel discussion about the future of farming, following a screening of “Groundswell” at the University of Georgia (UGA). The documentary explores regenerative agriculture and the relationship between farming and the environment.
