People in developed countries cant get enough of South Africa's rooibos (red bush) tea. But the effects of climate change - drought, crop failure, soil erosion and desertification - threatens the tiny area where it is grown.

Follow Hendrik's story in this video and see how UKaid is helping small tea farmers adapt their farming to fight climate change. Plus, get the full story at: http://www.dfid.gov.uk/tea-farmers

For more on the UK government's ambition for a a global deal on climate change, visit the Act on Copenhagen website at http://www.actoncopenhagen.gov.uk

  • A creative wonderful inspirational video, just goes to show the power of original story telling. 5 stars, and a favourite, was truly an engaging piece of media. Currently working on editing a video I shot whilst volunteering in Peru with Dfid Platform2, hope I can create that feeling of suspense excitement.
