Mexico’s farmers are on the front lines of a battle they didn’t start but are forced to fight: the struggle against climate change.

In this report, CGTN’s Alasdair Baverstock travels across rural Mexico to speak with farmers who are adapting in real time. Some are turning to drought-resistant crops. Others are experimenting with regenerative techniques. But the question remains: Will these adaptations be enough?
