Saving Our Soil: Farming With a Future
In the face of a changing climate and degrading soil, farmers in Brandenburg, Germany, are experimenting with new agricultural techniques to restore the land. By moving away from traditional plowing and embracing methods like cover cropping and the use of compost tea, these farmers are working to build up soil health and biodiversity. Their efforts, which include the cultivation of chickpeas, are part of a larger, generational shift toward more sustainable and resilient farming practices that aim to secure the future of agriculture in the region.
