Bold but promising methods for alternative agriculture. A vegetarian for several years, German market gardener Elisabeth Fresen nevertheless decided to integrate cows into her organic farm. The young woman explains why these animals, despite the methane they emit, help make her activity more respectful of nature. In the county of Shropshire, England, another organic market gardener, Mark Lea, is conducting a new experiment: using sheep to improve his cereal harvests.
