Farm Rebellion 2023

Benedikt Bösel was an investment banker, but then the financial crisis hit and with it the question of meaning. Today, he is a farmer, a visionary and leads a young team that is testing a radical new type of agriculture in the fight against climate change. On his farm, near Berlin, Benedikt has to deal with drought and very sandy soils. A scenario that we will encounter more and more often around the world. For Paula, a career changer, his farm becomes an opportunity for a different life, and for José and Lea it is the first step on the way to their own farm in Chile. With his team and his partner Tess Ward, Benedikt wants to prove that their regenerative experiments can be a role model for the whole world. It is the start of a tough year, the fight against drought and personal limits.—Martin Tischner
