Farms: when nature takes back its rights
Farms: when nature takes back its rights
(France 2)

In the Drome, two farmers have decided to breathe new life into their land where intensive farming was once practiced.

This is the story of a farm like no other, just a stone’s throw from Valence, in the Drôme. A refuge for flora and fauna. Here insects, lizards, mammals and birds are gradually reappearing like endangered species. The artisans of this little miracle: Sébastien and Elsa. That day, the two farmers had to intervene in a field near their farm. An invasive plant had appeared.

Thanks to farmers’ biodiversity-friendly methods, many insects are making a comeback in nature. “We are in a dynamic where the more biodiversity we have, the more living things we welcome on the farm, all species combined, the more chances we have of limiting insect pests”explains Sébastien. A model that could inspire others.
