Farm Rebellion

Benedikt Bösel is a farmer leading a young team that is testing a new type of agriculture in the fight against climate change; Benedikt has to deal with a scenario that farmers will encounter more often around the world: drought and sandy soils.

After weeks without rain, the fourth bad harvest in a row is looming; much is at stake: the jobs, the regenerative projects and the farm itself; the farm still depends on monoculture, with huge fields of grain that will be lost to climate change.

Benedikt's "gunshot method" on grazing cattle on the pasture raises questions; it's the kick-off to a farm-to-table Thanksgiving party with chef Heidi Bjerkan, who Tess and Benedikt meet in Norway; Benedikt is planning a feast for over 100 guests.

Paula is thinking about quitting her job; Anne and Deacon are close to burnout with their Ackerpulco farm; José and Lea are expecting a second child and are worried about the future; Rosi is looking for a new motivational boost.

Jojo travels to New York to learn from urban farming pioneer Karen Washington; Benedikt searches for new, sustainable concepts in England and meets Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell; José and Lea say goodbye and risk a new start in Chile.

In early summer, everything comes full circle; a year of struggle and hard work for a new, better kind of agriculture; Benedikt and Laurenz are testing the use of drones that supply field plants with natural nutrients.
