This video was produced as part of Groundswell International's Young Reporters program - an initiative where around 100 committed young people document the regenerative agricultural and food systems that their families and communities are implementing. Their goal? To give a voice to those on the front lines of the fight against climate change, to show that there is an alternative to conventional agriculture. United by their diverse perspectives and backgrounds, these short films offer hope for the future of agriculture in the face of climate change.
