Paved Paradise is a playful, Dutch documentary about a serious problem: the loss of biodiversity due to human use of land. Biologist Hidde Boersma goes on a journey of discovery with filmmaker Karsten de Vreugd to unravel the current agricultural problems. His point: organic farming cannot be the solution for everything, because of lower yields you need more land. This results in a refreshing documentary in an optimistic tone, which leads to a surprising solution to this problem.
