Max Bergmann dreamt of having his own farm — until the diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa turned his everyday life upside down. But instead of giving up, he fought his way back: two Paralympic participations, a PhD in agricultural sciences and finally the founding of the DromeDairy camel farm in Western Australia. My colleague Barbara Barkhausen spoke to him about how he realized his dream — and why camel milk can do much more than you think.
