Farming the Flood

Farming The Flood is a documentary that follows upland farmers as they implement natural on-farm solutions to manage water, improve soil health, and enhance biodiversity. Co-directed by filmmaker Harrison Wood and farmer Nick Viney, the film highlights how working with natural processes—often funded by government and private grants—can safeguard communities while providing farmers with new sources of income. By focusing on real-world examples, the documentary empowers farmers and landowners with the knowledge and financial resources to become climate resilience leaders.
