The film shows how researchers in Denmark and Sweden are testing different mixtures of grass, herbs and clover seeds. The goal? To get a good harvest while also benefiting the climate and pollinating insects. By mixing many plant species, it is possible to store more carbon in the soil, use nitrogen more wisely and attract more bumblebees and hoverflies – without compromising the harvest. In Sweden, tests are also being conducted to see how the number of harvests affects insect life, and it turns out that a little unharvested land can make a big difference. In short: diversity in the field is good for the soil, the climate and the bees!
