Full Description

Climate change, biodiversity loss and soil degradation are three interlinked crises that threaten our very existence - and they all converge in agriculture. It's clear, the way we produce food and farm must change.

When Benedikt Bösel took over his family's 3,000-hectare farm and forest estate in Brandenburg, Germany, he set out to prove that regenerative, multifunctional land use isn't just possible - it's essential. Through a bold mix of forestry, research, cows and compost, agroforestry and agriculture, he and his team are working to restore broken nutrient cycles, build climate resilience and reimagine how we use the land.

Driven by curiosity and courage, Benedikt built a team of talented, energetic and innovative doers, in order to explore whats possible in one of Germanys driest areas. Along the way, he drew inspiration from both pioneering innovators and time-honoured traditions that all shared the same truth: it all begins with soil.

Food & Farm Revolution is the inspiring story of that journey - a call to action for anyone concerned about the future of food, farming, and our planet.
