Nebraska farmer uses regenerative agriculture and buffer strips to protect watershed and combat Gulf dead zone

Summary

A short documentary from Water Hub highlights Christensen Farms in Nebraska, where farmer Graham uses regenerative agriculture practices like planting native prairie grass buffer strips along Bell Creek. These strips help protect downstream water quality in a vast watershed that feeds into the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico, where agricultural runoff has created a major dead zone. The piece showcases regenerative farming as a nature-based solution for healthy food and clean water.
