Summary

Aru Agriculture in northern Estonia is a seventh-generation, 4,000-hectare arable farm that has grown from 40 hectares in just 30 years. After years of intensive farming and repeated droughts, farmer Jakob Lindam is now transitioning toward regenerative practices with the support of advisor Stefan Gernert.
This video shows how Aru Agriculture is addressing soil compaction, improving soil structure, diversifying crops, and experimenting with cover crops and winter-killing companion plants. The farm demonstrates how even large-scale operations can take practical, step-by-step measures to build resilience, reduce inputs, and adapt to climate change.
