The Spreewald is now a biosphere reserve recognised by UNESCO, which places the nature of this stretch of land under special protection and includes agriculture to preserve this ecosystem. Last but not least, the tourists that the Spreewald attracts as a local recreation area are an important economic factor for the region. This creates a fine balance between the protection of nature and its benefits for people, which must be constantly rebalanced.
The agriculture that shapes the Spreewald and its clever niche products are the focus of this documentary. To preserve this landscape, the people here combine old traditions with new ideas. With the triad of agriculture, nature conservation and tourism, they are paving their way into the future.
