Summary in the original language of the document

In this video, Clara Bosch explains the importance of swales in climate-smart farming at La Junquera Farm. Swales help capture and infiltrate rainwater, preventing soil erosion during heavy rainfall. She explains step-by-step the building of swales, including marking the altitude line and shaping the land with a tractor. At la Junquera, they also plant hedges to promote biodiversity and pollinators. Clara speaks about the risks and maintenance required for swales. This simple yet effective practice is key for managing water sustainably and adapting to climate change.
