During Australia's "Black Summer" of 2019-20 a bush fire nearly destroyed the farm where actress Rachel Ward and her actor husband Bryan Brown had been raising cattle for 33 years.
This head-on confrontation with the climate crisis triggered Ward with a neighbour to pivot away from conventional agriculture practices and embrace regenerative farming.
She’s now a champion for the movement which aims to lower the ecological impact of farming and increase the health of the soil.
Her documentary Rachel’s Farm screens in cinemas and online in the Doc Edge festival in June.
