Across the world, farmers face growing challenges as extreme weather and climate change take their toll. At the Danthonia Bruderhof farm here in Australia - a land renowned for "drought and flooding rains" (and bushfires) - we're implementing Regenerative Agriculture practices, to work with nature to restore and improve our landscape. In this video, we showcase the efforts our community's farmers are making towards "drought-proofing" our farm by increasing the capacity of our land to hold water.
