Wurzeln des Überlebens

We show a round of people who not only practice but advance the knowledge of organic farming. Each of the farms shown is distinguished by a particular characteristic of the method: Preparation making in biodynamic farming, mother-bonded calf rearing, dual-purpose chickens, agroforestry, and the breeding and archiving of 3000 tomato varieties. Together they form a picture of a world farm that is up to the challenges of the 21st century.
