Future Forward is a character-driven documentary series featuring people and businesses pioneering industry innovation on the front lines of climate change.
Summary of Future of Forests episode:

Amazon and their partners are supporting agroforestry systems in Brazil to restore forests, produce food, and create sustainable livelihoods for local communities. Learn more:
