welcome to a voage of discovering and
0:04
awareness of the richness the diversity
0:07
surprising nature living with the
0:12
land Our Journey Begins as dramatic and
0:15
sudden changes are sweeping over the
0:17
land the approaching storm
0:20
mayr to us but to Nature a new beginning
0:23
of the sight of
0:58
beneath the surface of the land reach
1:00
trap water from the flowing BL
1:03
extracting precious nutrients and
1:05
minerals these elements with sunl create
1:08
the diverse liing systems of our
1:13
[Music]
1:26
plan one of the living systems is the
1:31
to the mostly concentration
1:35
of and beautiful cover only
1:44
tin are also extremely rich and
1:47
productive living system providing us
1:50
with oxygen food medic and other
2:12
[Music]
2:16
in the desert Nature has created a very
2:19
different but no less beautiful living
2:21
system and while this Aid lscape may
2:24
seem lifeless it is very much align the
2:28
plants and animals that have learned to
2:29
survive in these harsh conditions make
2:32
use of what little water they can find
2:34
and avoid the scorching rays of the
2:36
Relentless
2:50
Sun the American Prairie once appeared
2:52
as desolate as the desert but over time
2:55
rainwater and nutrients gradually
2:58
penetrated the hard surface of this land
3:00
even the hoos of the mighty Buffalo
3:02
helped create a rich soil that would one
3:05
day become home to the American
3:16
[Music]
3:25
Farm of all the forces at work on the
3:28
land humans have had one of the most
3:31
profound effects the need to produce
3:33
food for a growing World led to the
3:35
enormous use and sometimes overuse of
3:38
the land in our search for more
3:41
efficient ways to grow food we often
3:43
fail to realize the impact of
3:45
[Music]
3:57
our today we're learning to live with
4:00
the land discovering better ways to grow
4:03
food that will ensure both human and
4:05
environmental
4:07
wellbeing
4:09
to in the farmlands Across America we
4:12
learning that PL vegetation containing
4:15
natural fertilizers we can en the soil
4:18
[Music]
4:21
without in a regions we're learning to
4:24
produce desert sea Co by developing and
4:27
pl
4:32
in Japan we learn that byes and other
4:36
living materials into our soil we can
4:38
make farm land more F without the need
4:40
for
4:43
chemicals here at Epcot we're learning
4:46
to reduce the need for chemical
4:47
pesticides by breeding and using natural
4:50
Predators like lady bugs and Wass to
4:53
control pest in the farmlands Across
4:56
America we're learning that by plowing
4:59
under
5:00
containing natural fertilizers we can
5:02
enrich the soil without the use of
5:06
chemicals in arid regions we're learning
5:09
to produce food on desert sea coasts by
5:12
developing and
5:21
[Music]
5:24
planting how will we meet tomorrow's
5:26
growing needs for food production yet
5:29
still respect the needs of the land some
5:31
of the answers are being discovered just
5:33
ahead to help us maintain these
5:36
carefully controlled ecosystems and for
5:38
your safety please remain seated in your
5:41
boat at all times

Welcome to our glimmering green houses
6:06
where scientists from Epcot and the US
6:09
Department of Agriculture illuminate the
6:11
wondrous gift from the land join us as
6:15
we bring in the most Bountiful time of

receive and in this greenhouse we're
10:03
celebrating the holidays by giving back
10:05
to the land using Innovative farming
10:08
[Music]
10:12
techniques by recycling water we can
10:14
give plants Rich nutrients by giving
10:17
plants lady FS we're able to control
10:20
pests and reduce the for pesticides and
10:23
by gring ground plants vertically we
10:25
give them better protection from disease

worldwide to produce Bountiful harvests
12:53
for our growing
12:56
population scientists farmers and even
12:59
backyard gardeners are doing their part
13:01
to improve the quantity and quality of
13:03
foods that we all rely
13:06
upon together we can continue to find
13:09
more ways to increase food production
13:11
and protect our precious natural
13:14
environment only then will we truly be
13:18
living with the
13:19
[Music]
13:25
