A conversation with Abby Rose, co-founder of Vidacycle and Farmerama, about the role and potential of AI in observation, alternative investment, the power of transparency, why regenerative viticulture is so interesting, and more.Why did someone who didn’t really need the money and had serious and reasonable questions about the tendency of startups, both in and outside the regenerative space, to keep raising money, ended up raising funding? Not in a traditional, potentially extractive way, but a revenue share, and service fee, and a cap.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/abby-rose-2.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Brett Hundley, President of Agroforestry Partners (AP), a fund that invests in agroforestry projects on farmland with the strategy of providing uncorrelated and attractive nature-based investment opportunities for investors. We talked about moving away from an agricultural system that relies on annuals to a system that relies more on perennial trees. If trees are the answer to whatever the question is, how do we get millions of more trees into the ground?How do we finance them, and how do we make the key stakeholders, the farmers- that need to give agroforestry operators access to their land for 20 40 or maybe a 100 years- comfortable with these farming systems? How do we get comfortable with writing these checks the other essential stakeholder investors that need to pore hundreds of millions into an industry and a system they are not really used to, with long time horizons (chestnuts, for instance, take 7 to 9 years before they bare fruit but could produce for at least 50 or even hundreds of years)?---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/brett-hundley.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Heather Terry, CEO and founder of GoodSam, about how an exit from a chocolate company led to a female-led consumer goods company, how education of consumers is key, networks vs. chains, multi-crop buying, and much more.Every CEO and high-ranking manager working in food companies should be obligated to visit the farms and farmers they source from. So many decisions in the board rooms would be taken differently. With Heather we dig into a story of a company about how an exit in a chocolate company led to a female led consumer good company focussing on chocolate, coffee, nuts and dried fruits. Preferably sourced from the same farmers paying them 2 to 3 times as much, marketed and sold throughout the US in Whole Foods and online and only being 2 years old. How is that possible? and why according to Heather is this the only way forward?---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/heather-terry.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

In the last 12 months, or even the last 6 months, we have seen an explosion of interest from corporates in value chain regeneration. Why now?

Emma Chow and Calla Rose Ostrander explore the regenerative mindset and the importance of integrating human behaviours into natural cycles, recognising abundance and the physical capacity for healing, burnout, the perception of time scarcity, prioritising regenerative activities, and much more.Regenerative mind is about healing. It makes Calla Rose think back to her experience suffering a brain injury, which taught her what it means to heal — her brain was literally regenerating itself. The regenerative mindset is underpinned by a belief that we have enough, the belief of abundance. This way of seeing the world is something we already know; it’s just about coming back to it.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/emma-chow-calla-rose-ostrander.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Nicolas Enjalbert, CEO and Co-Founder of SeedLinked, an innovative company digitizing collaborative breeding and a seed breeder, about our current seed system, flavour and nutrients, collaborative seed research, and much more.Seeds, it all starts with seeds (and soil) but mostly seeds. And our current seeds system is structurally not able to grow seeds that are adaptive to local niches, weather, let alone flavour or nutrients etc., but only able to grow seeds for large large monoculture agriculture systems. But 97% of the global farmers aren't large monoculture farmers, and 70% of our global food is grown by them. Who grows seeds for them, and how are we going to innovate and adapt there? This interview takes a deep dive into the world of collaborative seed research, about yields, nutrients and flavour? And yes, we also tackle thorny topics like GMO, CRISPR and your favourite heirloom tomato.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/nicolas-enjalbert.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Eric Smith, CEO and co-founder of Edacious, who is building a technology platform for differentiating quality of food. Eric and Koen talk about measuring quality and how to turn around objectively one of the most complex systems ever, from one driven by chemicals to one driven by biology, with abundance as an outcome. The solution, according to Eric, is radical transparency.Get ready for a deep dive into the world of nutrient density with one of the few people building a company in the space. Why did they choose to focus mainly on cows and grains? Hint: the climate impact there is just enormous.

As we are wrapping up 2023 we look back at a year which feels even crazier than 2022. Another war has started and we have been flooded literally with extreme weather events. Every month seems to have been the warmest, driest, wettest etc. in history! Let’s look at what we covered and learned in the podcast:This Changes Everything: Cooling the PlanetWhat if water is more important than carbon? It’s the question posed by Alpha Lo, physicist and writer of the Climate Water Project, about the importance of slowing water down, the connection between drought, fire, and floods, and the massive role water plays in heating and cooling our planet. We hosted many other conversations, a full series on Water Cycle, about this key (and neglected) topic. Rodger Savory, joined us to talk about scale and cows, how to kickstart regeneration in desert situations, changing local weather patterns, abundance, soil bacteria, conventional agriculture, WW2 and much more. Neal Spackman rejoined the podcast and shared why it is so difficult to to raise funding for this kind of projects while professor Millàn Millàn explained how to restore the small water cycle in the Mediterranean, why the summer storms and rains have disappeared and how this turned out to be connected to massive snows in the UK and massive floods in Central Europe.“Healthy forests invest their capital to create their own rain” said Anastassia Makarieva because, according to the latest science, healthy ecosystems, and specifically healthy forests, regulate moisture and thus rain.

A conversation with Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin, CEO of Tree Range Farms, farmers and producers which a focus on establishing or maintaining a “jungle like” habitat that honours the true natural environment of chickens. When they do this, they not only create a better habitat for the chickens, they create a better world. We talk about using indigenous knowledge to transform the food system, how chickens could and should be raised with a focus on soil health and how to structure business with an indigenous mindset.Thinking and seeing the world from a chicken perspective probably is not something you do everyday, but actually it is a fundamental piece of the regenerative food system puzzle.

We take a deep dive into the four paradigms of agriculture and how regenerative agriculture is a journey, not a destination. It is not romantic nor naive, it is not anti science nor anti technology. Welcome to a very special episode. This is part of our online education course to accelerate Your Path Forward in Regenerative Food and Agriculture.The course wants to help you accelerate your understanding of the complexities of the current food and an agriculture system and what broad and deep regeneration is so relevant and interesting. We focussing on what your role can be in this transition, what companies need to be build? What investments need to be made, if you are in the position, and what other roles you can play if you work in big food and big ag that are needed to transition?As part of the lesson about what is regenerative agriculture and food, we have Ethan Soloivev joining us for a conversation and we tackle that elephant immediately. We talk about why that is the wrong question to ask, what are the four paradigms of agriculture and, of course, about a lot more.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/ethan-soloviev-3.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

This is a conversation between Koen van Seijen, host of the Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast, and Dayana Andrade, researcher, author of Life in Syntropy | Vida em Sintropia and farmer at Amadeco Syntropic Farm. A deep dive into syntropic farming, companion crops opposed to the olive monoculture afflicting the Apulian region, in the South of Italy.Dayana shares her personal journey, explaining how the lessons and practice learned with Ernst Götsch altered her view of landscapes and challenged traditional notions of competition and scarcity in nature. We also discuss the transformative power of human intervention in nature, exploring the latest findings in soil science and plant growth. Finally, we explore how finding our habitat and understanding our role in the ecosystem can be a fulfilling journey. This episode is part of the Farmers’ Philosophy series.We can learn so much more from farmers than how to restore soil. Regeneration goes much further and deeper. That’s why this is the second episode of the Farmers’ Philosophy series, where we make time with farmers who are pushing the boundaries of regenerative agriculture, we sit down with them and take time to explore more than soil health. We discuss what we can learn, what we can see, what we can observe when we get in touch with life again and understand we’re all an ecosystem.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/farmers-philosophy-andrade.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

More than 10 million people saw the feature-length documentary; 39 million schoolchildren in the US saw the school version; and it counts for 1 billion media visualizations on Netflix. What do you do next, how do you choose what to focus on?  What do you double click on and do you dare to take on the large agro chemical complex? ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/josh-rebecca-tickell.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Sara Balawajder, Vice President of Builders Vision, who leads the impact first food and agriculture portfolio, about the opportunities of regenerative agriculture and food, and specifically nutrient density, and insurance, not health insurance, but farmers' insurance.Lukas Walton, a grandson of Walmart founder Sam Walton, established Builders Vision as an umbrella for his philanthropic, investment and advocacy work in 2021. What does one of healing impact investing and phylantripic platforms in the US, Lukas Walton of the Walmart founders' family, think about the opportunities of regenerative agriculture and food and specifically nutrient density? What would she love to invest in or grant to? What does she feel like is missing out there and what have they already been backing over the last years?---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/sara-balawajder.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Jan-Gisbert Schultze, a VC investor who turned into a regenerative enthusiast and bought a small olive farm, which he is turning into the first syntropic farm in Salento, in Puglia (Italy), a region battered by monoculture olive trees.After reading The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollen, Jan got bitten by the regeneration bug. He attended courses with Joel Salatin, Gabe Brown and Ernst Goetch where he went deep into syntropic agroforestry. That led Jan to buy a masseria, a small farm in Puglia, in a region where now more than 15 million trees are dying because of modern agriculture, ploughing, chemicals and, of course, the xylella fastidiosa, a virus which seems to be the last straw on the camels back for these poor suffering trees. Finally, Jan managed to convince Dayana Andrade and Felipe Pasini, the oldest students of Ernst Goetch, to come and help regenerate his farm Amadeco.The time of monoculture olives might be over in Salento, Puglia, but the future of olive trees as part of a diverse, extremely productive system seems just beginning, or coming back as there are records of the Romans already farming olive trees in a very diverse agroforestry system. Why is Jan so hopeful about the future, and what has accounting to do with it?---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/jan-gisbert-schultze/.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Rodger Savory, ecologist, land manager, and ranch owner, about scale and cows, how to kickstart regeneration in desert situations, changing local weather patterns, abundance, soil bacteria, conventional agriculture, WW2 and much more.Many millions of hectares of agricultural land around the world have turned into deserts, and many millions are about to turn into deserts with current agricultural practices. Brittle environments (with a rain and dry season) won’t regenerate by themselves when you remove humans, animals. Temperate climates do, they turn into a jungle. And we have a lot of brittle environments around the world.Our current belief is that a desert will always be a desert, and there is no way to turn it around or regenerate it into abundance. What if there was? What would be the business case? And even more extreme what, if done at the right scale, like at least 150.000 acres in South Eastern California? How would local weather patterns change and would exponential abundance be possible? ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/rodger-savory.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Chris Tolles, founder of Yardstick, about soil carbon and the connection to changing agriculture practises, insetting vs offsetting, where in the hype cycle the soil carbon market is and why more companies should get really good at doing one thing instead of saying yes to every opportunity.How difficult is it really to measure in field, instant, accurate and cheaply? Yardstick just raised $12 million, mostly VC climate money, to commercialise their technology. Warning!

A conversation with Ichsani Wheeler and Lenka Danilovic. Ichsani is a scientist, co-founder of OpenGeoHub and EnvirometriX, while Lenka is an hydrologist and intern at OpenGeoHub. In this conversation, we talk about the world of remote sensing, and we unpack what the eyes in the sky can help us learn about indigenous land and water management.How far back can we look at arid landscapes that used to be managed to produce abundance? How did they manage extreme weather events like El Niño, or did they see them as extreme abundance events? With a wealth of practical science knowledge between Ichsani and Lenka and the absolute cutting edge of open-source remote sensing, this is a rare treat to understand how to make water our friend again. This episode is part of the Water Cycles series, supported by The Nest, where we interview the dreamers and doers who are using the latest technology to figure out where to intervene first. They are making or trying to make the investment and return calculations. so what is missing, what is holding us back? Maybe we lack the imagination to back them and try regeneration at scale.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/ichsani-wheeler-lenka-danilovic.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Emma Fuller, co-founder of Fractal, about the transition to regenerative practices or outcomes of the millions of acres of broad-acre row cropping, corn, soy, and wheat in the US, Brazil, Argentina. Fractal provides farmers with equity financing by investing alongside them in their farmland to fund their growth.We all know the amazing examples that are pushing the boundaries of agriculture: syntropic agroforestry, silvopasture, food forests, complex intercropping, very advanced CSA, no dig market garden, or even agroforestry at a relative scale. But what about the rest? What are we going to do with all those acres and how do we get regenerative practices, regenerative outcomes or outcomes we like and seek like soil health etc at scale? Is there a path to having hundreds of thousands of acres in transition? Can soulless investors and the least interested in soil health farmers get these outcomes? Is there strong consumer pressure?---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/emma-fuller.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Edie Mukiibi, farmer, agronomist, activist, and current president of Slow Food International, about modern input-heavy agrochemical agronomy education, the disillusionment with agrochemicals, hybrid seeds, and much more.A wide-ranging interview that starts on a small farm in Uganda, where Edie was born, grew up, and received a very agrochemical agronomy education, which led to a huge disillusion with agrochemicals and hybrid seeds. The disillusion led Edie to a deep dive, which continues until today, in the world of agroecology, regeneration, and seed banks. The story could have easily stopped there, and Edie could have just focused on restructuring the agriculture education system in Uganda and the rest of East Africa, but he got involved in Slow Food, a global movemen of over 1 million people fighting for good, clean and fair food, which was started in 1989 in Bra, in Italy, by Carlo Petrini, who led the movement for 33 years until Edie took over in 2022.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/edie-mukiibi.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Sam Kass, former White House Chef and Senior Policy Advisor for Nutrition of the Obama's administration and partner at Acre VC. We talk about the potential of VC in the space, the challenges of the real world and why we should focus on getting everyone access to carrots before focusing on the quality and growing practices, why carbon payments is a very interesting and real entry point to scale, and more.How a young chef became the personal chef of the Obama’s, started a vegetable garden in the garden of the White House and became very active and involved in the food and ag policy. After 6 years he left and started focussing on the investing and entrepreneurship side. Joining an impact VC.Sam argues we should focus on getting everyone access to carrots (and of course other veggies) before we focus on the quality and growing practices.

A conversation with Keoni Lee, CEO of Hawaii Investment Ready, about having to import massive amounts of food, inputs, fuel, etc., being at huge risk from climate disruptions and climate change and much more.Why do we need to take systems change lens into investing? You can’t focus on single solutions and hope that the massive global food and agriculture system will change. Hawaii, with 1,4 million people and 10 million tourists visiting each year, have to import over 90% of its food. Nowhere that is more current than on islands: they are usually far from mainlands, have to import massive amounts of food, inputs, fuel, etc. and are at huge risk from climate disruptions and climate change. Look for instance at the Archipelago of Hawaii, which used, before western contact, to produce enough food for 1 million people and, now with 1,4 million people and 10 million tourists visiting, has to import over 90% of its food. Learn more on how investing with a systems change lens in food and agriculture looks like in Hawaii.Have you ever wondered about the complexities of achieving food security in a region heavily dependent on imports? We take a closer look at how the legacy of plantation agriculture, the rise of GMO seed production, and the impact of regulatory frameworks play a significant role in Hawaii's journey to food sovereignty. Keoni shares insights on how the Investment Ready Program is spearheading this evolution, with their innovative accelerator program and research project focused on food systems.Finally, we discuss the power of collaborative funding in Hawaii's food system transformation. We highlight the success story of the Hawai'i 'Ulu Cooperative, which is championing the regeneration of indigenous crop production. We also deep-dive into the types of infrastructure investments that could pave the way for a more food-secure and sustainable Hawaii. ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/keoni-lee.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Tina Owens, regenerative agriculture consultant and part of the Nutrient Density Alliance (for Regenerative Agriculture), about the state of the nutrient density space, the research, why life cycle assessments are broken and a lot more.We are at the telegraph stage of nutrition, and that means lots of opportunities for companies. What does it mean that only 1% of nutrition data is tracked on food labels. Does it mean we should wait until the science is completely clear? Or, is there a lot of space on which food companies, large and small, can already act and secure a leading role in a space that seems completely open at the moment.The promise of molecular food mapping and its potential to illuminate the nutritional dark matter of our daily intake is also on our radar. The future is at our fingertips, with wearable technology and mass spectrometers in play to help us grasp our food's nutritional content better. It is necessary a more inclusive approach that respects organic, perennial, regenerative, and indigenous managed lands. ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/tina-owens.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Olivier Husson, engineer, system agronomist and agroecologist, working on a health approach based around the balance of Eh (electrons) and pH (protons) in soil, plants, microorganisms, animals, etc. Unbalanced Eh-pH conditions lead to poor nutrition and poor photosynthesis. As consequence, plants which lack energy and are being oxidised are attacked by pests and pathogens.Everything starts with plants and optimal photosynthesis, but most plants are too sick to optimally turn sunlight into energy. So, they are not able to create or regenerate soils. This is a fascinating deep dive into healthy plants and non-healthy plants. In short, it is all about energy and energy we either get from photosynthesis or photosynthesis from a few million years ago, aka fossil fuels.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/olivier-husson.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Tim Coates, co-founder of Oxbury Bank, the UK’s only specialist agricultural bank, about flood risk mitigation, water quality, water cycle restoration, selling flood mitigation to institutional investors and much more.Tim Coast, a third-generation farmer founded an agriculture focussed bank. He argues that the best place to start (at least in the UK) water cycle restoration might be selling flood mitigation to institutional investors and other institutional players suffering from bad watershed management like the drinking water companies trying to make sure we have clean drinking water, insurance companies who pay when businesses and houses flood, the reinsurance companies that pick up the final bill, the towns which get regular flooding, the railways, etc. It doesn’t make sense to sell the cooling effect of healthy water cycles and ecosystems to people who are not on board yet.

A conversation with Erwin Westers, about soil biology, the German regenerative movement, the seed business, healthy seeds, healthy soils, healthy people, epigenetics, taste, flavour and why there is so much to learn in the German-speaking world on regeneration.It is all about soil biology. Erwin found it out after farming low till and with cover crops for over 5 years, not without results, but not with the impact he hoped it would have. Until it clicked: with help of the German regenerative movement they started to focus on soil biology because if that isn’t there the cover crops are not digested on time to provide the fertilisation for your cash crop. It almost sounds like magic, but you can really reduce your inputs (organic manure, chemical NPKs etc. to almost zero) and still harvest an interesting cash crop year after year.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/erwin-westers.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

Why not all hope is lost, we still have massive healthy forests, but they need to be protected immediately, not only because of the carbon, and the biodiversity, but because they regulate our global weather system. From floods to droughts, from cyclones to hail, all depends on healthy ecosystems. And, of course, where she would focus her investments.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/anastassia-makarieva.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A check-in interview with Marcus Link and Mark Drewell, founders of New Foundation Farms (NFF), about how they went from trying to raise £20M to buying 1000 acres in the UK, building their stacked enterprise on leased land and ending up going almost full circle back to the beginning.Having learned a lot in the past 3 years, Marcus and Mark realised that in order to build a highly profitable and ecologically sound business, they don’t need 1000 acres, but only 250. So, they are back in fundraising mode to raise £5m and to show the world that we have passed the iPhone moment of regenerative agriculture. What if they are right? What if we can build profitable abundant regenerative companies? If that is the case, that will put the food and ag world upside down, and those are enough reasons for us to follow this story closely.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/mark-drewell-marcus-link.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A dynamic session speaking to both funders and founders about their experiences with financing in the realm of food and farming. Recorded live at Groundswell Agriculture  2023, Koen van Seijen in conversation with Tessa Etkin-Silver of Be the Earth Foundation, Ruth Anslow of HISBE Food and Marc Jones of Wildfarming Co.The conversation will address some of the functions of the financial system that aren’t supportive of this sector as well as some of the innovative ways that these shortcomings are being dealt with. First we will hear a high level overview from the funders perspective and then we will delve into two specific case studies where alternative financing models have supported the businesses to grow. We believe there is a gap when it comes to conversations addressing finance’s role in supporting the regenerative transition as well as the need for finance to transition to more regenerative principles itself. There are a handful of people having these difficult conversations, but we want to bring them to the mainstream. Whether you are a founder, a funder, or a farmer, this conversation is for you.Support the showFeedback, ideas, suggestions? - Twitter @KoenvanSeijen - Get in touch www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.comJoin our newsletter on www.eepurl.com/cxU33P!

A conversation with Alpha Lo, physicist and writer of the Climate Water Project, about the importance of slowing water down, the connection between drought, fire, and floods, and the massive role water plays in heating and cooling our planet.Trees create rain not the other way around. There is just so much to learn about water in all its forms, what it does when it’s part of a healthy watercycle or what it does when it isn’t (e.g. massive floods around the world). With Alpha Lo we try to start to unpack the massive role water plays in heating and cooling of our planet and argue why we should absolutely pay way more attention to water and the watercycle. Potentially it is more important and relevant in the climate discussion than carbon.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/alpha-lo.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Cristina Domenecq, Impact & Sustainability Officer at CrowdFarming, about direct-to-consumer platforms, consumers ready to buy long term, farmers ready to supply long term, transparency and more.Did you think that direct to consumer platforms always have to be small and cute? Think again, Cristina works at a company reaching over 350.000 customers and selling over products from more than 250 farmers. All organic, in the transition towards and now they are starting to figure out what regenerative means to them. This is a fascinating approach: first build the scale with organic, something that is usually already much better than conventional (and they have the LCA data to prove that from an emissions point of view, let alone the taste), and after having build this platform of both consumers ready to buy long term and be part of this transition and farmers ready to supply long term, be very transparent and go on a journey towards better soil health. Crowdfarming is getting ready to really push further into impact.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/cristina-domecq.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation with Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures, six generations, 156-year-old family farm in Bluffton, Georgia, about being in the space for 25 years but barely making money, new people wanting to get into the space, the unfairness built into the highly chemical, fossil fuel, extractive agriculture systems and a lot more.White Oak Pastures take pride in farming practices that focus on regenerative land management, humane animal husbandry, and revitalizing our rural community. They know radically traditional farming creates products that are better for our land, their livestock and their village. They are proud of their zero-waste production system that utilizes each part of the animals they pasture-raise and hand-butcher on their farm.What does it tell us when leaders who have been in the regenerative space for 25 years is barely making any money? What does it tell us if it is one of the leaders in the regenerative space not only in terms of operation, scale, highly diversifies, mostly vertically integrated, probably one of the biggest pasture raised and slaughtered companies and in the US?What does it teach us? Not that he is complaining, they are doing fine, 180 FTE, he is able to pay the bills. But they are just making it with large operational loans every seasons.What does it tell us about the sector now? What does it tell us about new people wanting to get into the space and what does it tell us about the incredible unfairness built into the highly chemical fossil fuel extractive agriculture systems? Big questions in the conversation with Will Harris of White Oak Pastures.

A conversation with Sven Verwiel of ForestFoods, a Kenyan based premium produce brand, about the potential of syntropic agroforestry in Kenya, and what we can learn from the over 40 years of experience in Brazil and what is needed to apply it at scale in the local East African context as well as why is the African continent the crucial and most interesting place to apply regenerative practises.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/sven-verwiel.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

Wow! What a year it has been. Just when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier we find ourselves in a war in Europe, crazy energy and food prices and extreme high inflation rates in general. In an ideal world farms applying regenerative practises are more resilient, but as we saw with the story of Josh Heyneke, founder of Parc Carreg, farms can get into trouble very quickly when input prices spike (in this case organic grain from Ukraine to feed the ducks). It seems like Josh and his partner Abigail will make it through the winter and are building hard on their more resilient future, which will include climate neutral eggs!The most important storyHealthy soil equals healthy food equals healthy people is arguably the most important story we shared in 2022. We kicked off this new Nutrient Density in Food series unpacking this crucial piece of the puzzle (supported by the A Team Foundation who is looking to make investments and donations in the space).We interviewed Anne Biklé and David R Montgomery who not only co authored the study “Soil health and nutrient density: preliminary comparison of regenerative and conventional farming”, but also wrote the book What your food ate. if you haven’t read it please do it asap and give it to anyone interested in health! Interviews with Fred Provenza and Zuzanna Zielińska really showed how strong this connection is. We look forward to continue this series in 2023.REQUEST: If you have people we should interview that are building companies in the food- from healthy soils- as medicine space, please let us know!Farmers’ Philosophy Series and Video! There is so much more we can learn from the key decision makers of our time, farmers than soil health and this deserves time and space. Following the legends in the podcasting world, we couldn’t stay behind :) and in November we recorded our first video interview.Together with regenerative farmer and pioneer Jeroen Klompe we sat down and took time to go deep. We covered a lot of ground while really enjoying the process. Let us know in the comments what you think! Going deeperThe video episode wasn’t the only place where we went deeper. Non other than Charles Eisenstein joined us for a deep conversation!

But very few people have actually raised from these players and thought about their role. Who can write $100M checks to give the scale-ups in the regenerative agriculture and food tech space the time to grow? Why now is the moment for regenerative food and agriculture (as health care costs are getting out of control, institutional players are forced to invest in impact, technology and raw computational power make almost magic possible)?More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/eric-archambeau.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

A conversation between Koen van Seijen, host of the Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast, and Jeroen Klompe, farmer and owner of Klompe Landbouw. We can learn so much more from farmers than how to restore soil. Regeneration goes much further and deeper. That’s why this is the first episode of the Farmers’ Philosophy series, where we make time with farmers who are pushing the boundaries of regenerative agriculture, we sit down with them and take time to to explore more than soil health. The video version of the conversation is on YouTube.

A conversation with Liz Carlisle, writer of Healing Grounds, about the deep racism that exists in agriculture and food and in the regenerative agriculture movement as well. A deep dive in the real origin story of the Green Revolution, the black farming movement in the US, the deep roots of colonisation in agriculture and what we should learn from that.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------We stand on the shoulders of giants in the indigenous farming and land management space, but choose not to mention them. All practices we currently call regenerative are not new, but have been around for a long time and we choose to broadly not acknowledge that and look away when it comes to thorny topics like land ownership, access to land, access to finance, etc. So, let’s get real and discuss all these things.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/liz-carlisle-2.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

A conversation with Federico Romeri, founder of Pascol, to dive deep into the beef market in Italy and how to move it from CAFO factory farming to a regenerative one.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/federico-romeri.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------Everyone knows the animal protein market has to be disrupted massively and maybe, most of all, the beef market. Take for instance Italy where 85% of beef comes from factory farms, which means inside with a lot of inputs and horrible animal welfare practices plus, of course, the negative health outcomes for those who consume that meat. Plus 50% of the total beef consumption is imported. Saying that this should change is easy, but how do you actually do that? How do you build a supply chain or web from the ground up b2c and b2b and how do you work with the supermarket chains to get your products in front of more people?For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Anne Biklé and David R Montgomery, writers of What your food ate, join us to talk about the connection between soil- building agriculture practices and human health, and the differences in healthy compounds in our food, both plants and animal protein connected to the way that food has been grown.This series is supported by the A Team Foundation, who support food and land projects that are ecologically, economically and socially conscious. They contribute to the wider movement that envisions a future where real food is produced by enlightened agriculture and access to it is equal. The A Team are looking to make more investments and grants in the space of bionutrients.

Full interview www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2019/12/10/catherine-tubb/. ------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------Will precision fermentation really be 100 times more land efficient, produce 10-25 times more feedstock and be 10 times more water efficient? And what does it do with nutrient density and healthcare? Catherine's work focused primarily on disruption in the agriculture and food industries. She is the co-author, together with Tony Seba, of “Rethinking Food & Agriculture 2020-2030: The second domestication of plants and animals, the disruption of the cow and the collapse of the industrial livestock industry". The report shows how the modern food disruption, made possible by rapid advances in precision biology and an entirely new model of production, will have profound implications not just for the industrial agriculture industry, but for the wider economy, society, and the environment.This interview with Catherine might be uncomfortable for some in the regenerative food and ag space, who will struggle to call this real food. Regardless if this is happening as RethinkX claims, I think we need to pay attention to the developments, investment flows and potential impact on industrial animal farming (which would be great), farmers (not so great) and agriculture land (mixed prospects).I had and still have a lot of questions about nutrients, hormones and healthcare implications of these developments. But I also have them about industrial animal farming. So I invite you to listen to the interview, read the report and share your feedback!Full RethinkX report on:www.rethinkx.com/food-and-agriculture. -----------------------------------------------------------------------For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

This includes regional and global industry sectors such as agri-business, plastics and textiles. As natural capital declines, Planet Tracker is working with capital markets to measure the extent to which macroeconomic health, also referred to as sovereign health, depends on the sustainable management of natural capital. Through the lens of agriculture, Planet Tracker is assessing how declines in natural capital create increased credit risks for sovereign investors. In agriculture-based economies, declines in natural capital can decrease production, impacting industry revenue, tax contributions, employment and soft commodity exports, resulting in falling treasury receipts including of foreign currency.

Farmers, though, are “stuck” in their production system, having to earn profits in order to pay bank annuities or earning enough income just to cover the costs of production.  Finding extra investments for trees and cover crops is simply not possible.This is where finding appropriate transition finance to speed up regenerative agriculture on farms is key. A local bank loan often isn’t feasible because of the short duration, lack of flexibility and the farmers lack of collateral.

Will precision fermentation really be 100 times more land efficient, produce 10-25 times more feedstock and be 10 times more water efficient? And what does it do with nutrient density and healthcare? An interview with Catherine Tubb of RethinkX, co-author of the “Rethinking Food & Agriculture” report.----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- Catherine's work focused primarily on disruption in the agriculture and food industries. She is the co-author, together with Tony Seba, of “Rethinking Food & Agriculture 2020-2030: The second domestication of plants and animals, the disruption of the cow and the collapse of the industrial livestock industry". The report shows how the modern food disruption, made possible by rapid advances in precision biology and an entirely new model of production, will have profound implications not just for the industrial agriculture industry, but for the wider economy, society, and the environment.This interview with Catherine might be uncomfortable for some in the regenerative food and ag space, who will struggle to call this real food. Regardless if this is happening as RethinkX claims, I think we need to pay attention to the developments, investment flows and potential impact on industrial animal farming (which would be great), farmers (not so great) and agriculture land (mixed prospects). I had and still have a lot of questions about nutrients, hormones and healthcare implications of these developments. But I also have them about industrial animal farming. So I invite you to listen to the interview, read the report and share your feedback!Show notes and all links can be found here:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2019/12/10/catherine-tubb. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

So when they start there in 15 years and they probably need to look at it in year 5, in year 10 and not worry about in the middle.Full interview, links and show notes:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2019/08/27/tony-lovell-2. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

In this special episode of the Regeneration Newsroom podcast Ethan Soloviev and I share our highlights of the Regenerative Food Systems Investment (RFSI) forum that took place in Oakland on Sep 30 - Oct 1. We thought nutrients had a big stage at the forum, while one of the elements missing was biodiversity. The role of farmers in the transition to a regenerative agriculture will be fundamental. Some big companies are ready to push the transition further. ----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- All links and show notes can be found here:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2019/10/10/regeneration-newsroom-podcast-ft-ethan-soloviev-october-2019-rfsi. Did we miss something?

Herenboeren helps local communities to buy a farm with 200 families and helps find the right farmer to farm the land in the most productive and regenerative way possible. Producing about 60% of the daily food for the families at prices lower than a supermarket. Next to the first few farms in The Netherlands, France and Sweden will probably soon have their local version of Herenboeren. We discussed the new farmland investment fund Geert is working on. It will give investors the opportunity to put money to work by investing in a fund that buy land and leases it to Herenboeren through out The Netherlands.www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2019/09/29/geert-van-der-veer-2. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

You need to regenerate it. It takes time! Price and costs aren’t everything. Quality vs quantity Long term view. If you think buying high quality food it is too expensive you can reduce your food costs by reducing animal protein. Key is externalities, the more they are integrated the easier it is to compete companies with less or positive externalities (which you invested in).Advice to starting impact investors in regenerative agriculture:Look at emerging countries, fair trade isn’t enough, look at the value chainInvesting in the good companies in Europe, help them to scale and to educate their consumers It is too late for being just sustainable we really need to rebuild the economy regeneratively. It’s a new economy we are building!----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Transition finance is key to help many more farmers and growers start the transition to organic and regenerative.

Farmers do not pay back the fund until they are making net profits. The expected IRR is 9% over 10 years, though successful payback is conservatively expected to take 5 years. If the investment is not repaid at 1.5x after 10 years, the remaining amount owed will be forgiven. A key piece is the market access, Pipeline foods (we have interviewed Eric earlier) buys the crops in the 3 year transition and provides a long term off take agreement for the organic crops All links and show notes here:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2019/07/13/brandon-welch. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

One of those banks is Rabobank who designed a transition finance product specific for farmers to transition to organicPipeline Food provides the long term off take agreements to these farmersSome NGOs/institutions are potentially interested to come alongside the banks and de-risk some of these loans or this money can be pooled and bring down the interest rates for farmersIt is relatively easy to have the discussion today as the conventional agriculture is suffering of low returnsThere is a Regenerative Organic Label, with the USDA organic as a baseThe movement against pesticides and herbicides is getting strongerOne of the great myths is that organic needs to be more expensive.

If you want to drive meaningful environmental change you are going to need to make regenerative agriculture more profitable.

The first one needs to learn the challenges of farming, the farmer needs to understand the level of reporting and milestones the fund manager needs to raise capital. If Chuck could change one thing: he would come up with a KPI to measure soil carbon and the correlation to financial returns. Chuck’s advice for investors: Meet with regenerative farmers and have meaningful conversationsTalk to investors who have been allocating capital to regenerative agriculture for a couple of yearsPlus learn about the food sector at large and the global challengesThoughts from the episode:When you demonstrate that the right economic choice is regenerative you will completely transform how money is allocated in agriculture. And there are trillion of dollars invested in agricultureIf you want to drive meaningful environmental change you are going to need to make it more profitableCarbon seems to be the best proxy for the (health of the) rest of the agriculture system- Farmers for the most part are still price takers, even if they grow a crop which is better for the planet for probably healthier for usFarmers could come for the regenerative premium and stay for the cost savings- Big buyers could also share in the cost savingsWhen retailers and processors are going to see healthy soil means healthy plants, there will be a very clear way to differentiating between a crop that is grown in a healthy soil and one that is notThe full interview, links and show notes can be found here:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/12/10/chuck-de-liedekerke. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

After a career in conventional chemical agriculture and software Eric Jackson could retire, but decided to build the missing piece in organic broad acre row crops (grain and soy). A 12 min summary of the interview with Eric, who is building an organic powerhouse.----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- This time I had the great pleasure to interview Eric Jackson, the CEO and founder of Pipeline Foods www.pipelinefoods.com.He was triggered by a fascinating statistic: the US is a grain, corn and soy powerhouse but imports 75% of its organic demand.Why? There isn’t enough organic farmland in the US, so Eric started on a journey which led 18 months ago to the founding of Pipeline Foods, to build the infrastructure needed to get organic grain, corn and soy from the farmer to the food processor. Thus giving the farmers certainty and getting more farmers through the difficult transition process.Why are they focussing on broad acre crops and not livestock, or produce? Because of the scale that they can bring. Broad acre crops cover many many millions of acres and when you can bring them under organic and hopefully soon organic plus/beyond organic management can really have a huge impact on local/regional climate systems, biodiversity and water quality (which we briefly touched upon in the interview) Full interview, notes and show notes can be found here:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/07/18/eric-jackson. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

What is the role of animals in the food system of the future?----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- This time I interviewed Ruud Zanders of Kipster, diving deep into the question: What is the role of animals in the food system of the future (if any)? Takeaways:Pigs and chickens can do something amazing turning food waste (which humans can’t or don’t want to eat) into protein and manure If the livestock industry would only use residual waste for chickens and pigs and marginal lands for cows, goats and sheep there would be 20grams of animal protein per person per day available around the world We have to eat less animal based proteinsWhy take 10kg of grain which could feed 10 people, feed it to chickens and feed 2-4 people with it?First sell then produce (in this case through a 5 year agreement with the Lidl)Why feed organic grains (which could feed humans) to an animal?Scale is key to have an impact- Catching all the fine dust from stableManure is dried and sent to farmsRoosters are not killed immediately (like the industry standard) but grown to become chicken hamburgers (also bough by the Lidl)Climate neutral egg using solar energyThe eggs are sold for prices between organic and free rangeConsumers are ready to pay for food but you have to explain why you are different Ruud has doubts about the insect businesses coming up, why creating a new animal industry (insects) to feed another animal industry (chickens?) why not eat the insects directly? The first Kipster was financed by a private investor (after securing the Lidl off-take agreement of 5 years), the new Kipsters are financed by bank loans. Advice from Ruud Look at ecological efficiencies, why are we doing this on this piece of land? Why are you using animals for xyz?If Ruud could wave a magic wand he would stop using animals in our food system.

They planted 8000 trees but had no idea which trees were performing or notthe more we can support small to medium scale farmers to flourish more the betterthe tech solutions weren’t there or were way too expensivefundamental about all of our technology is empowering farmersfarmers are perfectly capable in understanding how their soil system worksfirst they developed sector mentor to help manage olive farms, vineyards etc. soil mentor for soils, very simple DIY soil testing for farmers, using only equipment already present on the farmvery excited about the opportunities to work with a number of small to medium size vineyards in Oregonbiggest issue in food and ag: food prices, food is so cheap, but the truth is food isn’t cheap. technology is not going to save us, what will save us is changing mind sets- technolog is a tool which will aid peopleplease don’t invest in a random technology which is going to save us allIf Abby had a magic wand: true cost accounting system for food Advice for investors: Go and work on some farms, and understand the reality of farmingBooks Abby suggested, show notes and links can be fond here:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2019/03/23/abby-rose. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.Find out more here:https://rfsi-forum.com/2023-rfsi-forum/ https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/courseSupport the showFeedback, ideas, suggestions? - Twitter @KoenvanSeijen - Get in touch www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.comJoin our newsletter on www.eepurl.com/cxU33P!

Discussion about how to increase the impact investing in regenerative agriculture in New Zealand.If you want to drive meaningful environmental change you are going to need to make it more profitable----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- Today I interviewed Geoff Burke, co-founder of Agro-Ecological, a New Zealand based impact investment manager and advisory firm focused on farmland.We also recorded our conversation as a video with some background slides. Please have a look and let us know what you think! https://youtu.be/0BR3v-_2aO8. Things we discussed:One of the things holding the agro ecological transition back is the myth that regenerative agriculture is less profitable. And that is wrong especially in New Zealand. You are able to run leaner and have more resilient returnsOrganic is important, independently audited and gives the consumers some comfort and drives the premium. It has been successful for 20/30 yearsWe should focus on profit per acre instead of yields of acre  If you only substitute your non organic inputs with organic inputs you are destined to fail You need to completely redesign your management system There is a lot of water quality regulation coming in New Zealand Farmers are asking themselves how to farm and have the social licences from their community to keep farming New Zealand has an amazing climate, on most farms animals can be outside all year round Organic Kiwis Why are organic kiwis interesting? Market is booming Kiwis need ‘winter chilling’, in the current kiwi region there isn’t enough winter chilling and producers use a chemical to ‘fake’ the winter, this isn’t allowed in organic productionIt isn’t easy to deploy big quantities of (institutional) investment capitalOrganic regenerative dairy Dairy is a major industry but created huge environmental issues, mostly on water quality, run off etc. Regulation is becoming much stricter and forcing the intensive farms to change Geoff is focussed on one water catchment, to improve the water quality In a few years the pasture will be much more diverse, going from 1 or 2 types to 15-20 types You will see a lot more trees on the farms, nuts, for fodder, wood Planting medicinal plants so cows can self medicate Different breed of cows, more robust, resilient Big farms by definition have to focus on the export If Geoff could change one thing overnight,Find out more here:https://rfsi-forum.com/2023-rfsi-forum/ https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/courseSupport the showFeedback, ideas, suggestions? - Twitter @KoenvanSeijen - Get in touch www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.comJoin our newsletter on www.eepurl.com/cxU33P!

The first one needs to learn the challenges of farming, the farmer needs to understand the level of reporting and milestones the fund manager needs to raise capital. If Chuck could change one thing: he would come up with a KPI to measure soil carbon and the correlation to financial returns. Chuck’s advice for investors: Meet with regenerative farmers and have meaningful conversationsTalk to investors who have been allocating capital to regenerative agriculture for a couple of yearsPlus learn about the food sector at large and the global challengesThoughts from the episode:When you demonstrate that the right economic choice is regenerative you will completely transform how money is allocated in agriculture. And there are trillion of dollars invested in agricultureIf you want to drive meaningful environmental change you are going to need to make it more profitableCarbon seems to be the best proxy for the (health of the) rest of the agriculture system- Farmers for the most part are still price takers, even if they grow a crop which is better for the planet for probably healthier for usFarmers could come for the regenerative premium and stay for the cost savings- Big buyers could also share in the cost savingsWhen retailers and processors are going to see healthy soil means healthy plants, there will be a very clear way to differentiating between a crop that is grown in a healthy soil and one that is notThe links and show notes can be found here:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/12/10/chuck-de-liedekerke. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

The Purpose Network helps companies to stay independent and mission driven for the long term. They believe that by innovating the way companies are owned, financed and governed, companies become more successful in the long run and can benefit all of society. Steward-owned companies make a legally binding commitment to their employees and customers: that the company is not a speculative good or commodity but a group of people working for a purpose. Main steward owned principles:Self governance isn’t tradable, steering wheel is always hold in trust by stewards of the companyPurpose, the company has a clear purposeHow to achieve the Mission lock?Golden Share, veto share etc. Thoughts:We are working on Alternative buy out capitalSteward ownership fosters intrinsic motivationWe are getting into time where it is important for your brand how you are ownedNormally you invest and you get power, but not in this caseClosed end fund structures is one of the reasons why we are selling companies again and again and againSo many impact investors go in and measure and make sure there is an impact, but then they go out and then what?Ask the power question: who owns the steering wheel? Can you buy it or can you inherit it? Or do you have another principal, where ability and values decide if you can steer the companyShow notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/11/19/armin-steuernagel. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

FoodShot is an ecosystem of world-class, mission aligned venture funds, banks, corporate strategic investors, and foundations that provide equity, debt, non-dilutive capital, and industry resources. Their first focus is on Soil 3.0.We discussed the following: Flavour is a system, all the focus on genetics etc. went into yield and not into nutrients and flavour. It is hard to imagine any future that has 10b people eating healthy and sustainably of which soil is not part of that future Soil isn’t only the nexus between agriculture and climate change but also between agriculture climate change and nutrition We have a pretty good understanding of what genes are but we don’t know how they express themselvesThink of soil and a plant as a single organismTen/twenty/thirty years from now we will look more at nutrients per acreWe need a Global Soil Map with nutrient densityThe brands of the future are the brands who understand their brand is their supply chain- Clean labels are keyChemicals have for the most part made farmers not think about systemic thingsWe have to find markets for the cover crops, they need to turn into cash cropsThe interesting near term work is being done in changing from a chemical farming system to an organic farming system From a data poor to a data rich farming system, looking at, below ground phenotyping, micro satellites, above ground LidarA wish from Victor: How do we make the invisible more visible?If you are working on anything related to Soil 3.0 or know someone, more information on how to approach FoodShot and the conditions for grants and investments can be found here.Links and show notes:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/11/10/victor-friedberg. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Why land security over a long period of time is key to soil health and sustainability (in all aspects) of farms. We discussed many things, among them why Iroquois focusses on multi generational farming families and exclusively organic production, although many of the farmers they work with go well beyond organic. They are looking for farmers who want to improve agriculture every single year, to increase soil biodiversity, organic is ‘just’ the first step. Some other insights:why they are starting to measure the carbon levels in the soil of the land they owntheir journey into the retail investor space and why it has been so long and why they are now almost ready to launch this!Kevin: 'once they (red. the farmers they work with) get their organic certification then the opportunities just continue to blossom, because of the markets that become available because of their knowledge growing because of getting exposure to other organic farmers and learning new systems. We want all of our farmers to work on incremental improvements. That was the basic principal of organic (red. when the organic movement started)' Exponential knowledge curve with regen farmers: 'When a farmer makes that commitment to organic it is drinking from the fire hose, there is so much to learn so much to do, the deeper you dive you realise the more you can go into the science and the technical aspects. Some of our farmers diving deep into that stuff. Coming up with systems and rotations that work for their geographies.Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/10/05/kevin-egolf. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- This time I interviewed Ian McSweeney director of the Agrarian Trust. The Agrarian Trust’s mission is to support land access for the next generation of farmers. Supporting all stakeholders, from farmers and community members to activists and investors in this absolutely key process. The Agrarian Trust decided to work with the oldest organic and regenerative farms (with the best soils and ecosystems) of the country and focusses on getting the next generation of farmers on this land. These farms give the new farmers a head starts of a few decades as they are much more resilient to drought, pest infestations etc. are able to do so much more with so much less in terms of labor and time.Instead of focussing on getting new farmers on them on land with poor soil, poor infrastructure etc. Some highlights of our conversation:Great wealth has been accumulated in this country through extractive industries. We need to collectively realise that the returns and wealth we got used to are based on extractive and exploitation. We need to get used to negative return, we need to return wealth to the soil, the ecosystems and communities we extracted for so long. We need to look at ways to compensate for sequestering carbon in soils. The prices of the leases of the Agrarian trust are directly connected to the soil building of the farmers. Thank you Thomas Rippel for the introduction to Ian!Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/08/21/ian-mcsweeney. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Covering over 1.5m acres in less than 18months, Eric is building an organic powerhouse. ----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- This time I had the great pleasure to interview Eric Jackson, the CEO and founder of Pipeline Foods. After a career in conventional chemical agriculture and software could retire but decided to build the missing piece in organic broad acre row crops (grain and soy). He was triggered by a fascinating statistic: the US is a grain, corn and soy powerhouse but imports 75% of its organic demand. Why? There isn’t enough organic farmland in the US, so Eric started on a journey which led 18 months ago to the founding of Pipeline Foods, to build the infrastructure needed to get organic grain, corn and soy from the farmer to the food processor. Thus giving the farmers certainty and getting more farmers through the difficult transition process. Why are they focussing on broad acre crops and not livestock, or produce? Because of the scale that they can bring. Broad acre crops cover many many millions of acres and when you can bring them under organic and hopefully soon organic plus/beyond organic management can really have a huge impact on local/regional climate systems, biodiversity and water quality (which we briefly touched upon in the interview).Listen to the interview to hear why Regenerative Agriculture isn't a big topic yet for many broad row crop farmers as the market signals aren't strong enough (yet). Hopefully this changes soon. We also discussed the role of Impact Investors in the transition and the role investment vehicles and funds might play to help more farmers through the organic transition. An evergreen vehicle or a green bond, helping farmers who want to transition to organic, do so. If you are interested in developing this or now someone who is doing this, please reach out to Eric:) Pipeline Foods currently works with 1.5M acres in North America 150k acres in Argentina And is projected to do 150m-175m in sales next year.Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/07/18/eric-jackson. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Thomas raised over € 1M with a German CSA to buy the land under their farm.

This is one of the big drivers of industrial agricultureThomas helped Luzernenhof a German CSA farm raise over 1M.-They set up their own crowdinvesting platformOrganised events made a cool videoShares in the cooperative which owns the land Buy land and charge very low lease rates to the farmersThe shares give no dividends. Really unattractive termsLuzernenhof who has also bought land for 10 others farmers, has noticed that landowners are willing to sell for a fairer price, if they know the land is going to be used sustainably! This is a very interesting point! If regenerative farmers get a lower price for land, if this is true in other areas and countries this could be huge. Advice for impact investors wanting to get into Regenerative Agriculture:- Look at your local Farmland Stewardship Organisation and get involved- Look into your local CSA farms, they usually rely on bank loans you could refinance them, which would be cheaper for them and you get a return (compared to 0% on the bank)!Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/04/21/thomas-rippel. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter Find out more here:https://rfsi-forum.com/2023-rfsi-forum/ https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/courseSupport the showFeedback, ideas, suggestions? - Twitter @KoenvanSeijen - Get in touch www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.comJoin our newsletter on www.eepurl.com/cxU33P!

Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- I had a conversation with Aymeric Jung and Josep Segarra of Quadia Capital who have been investing in regenerative agriculture and food companies for a few years and put more than 10M to work.Two barriers for investing in regenerative agriculture according to Aymeric and Josep: You have to understand that food isn’t a basic product, it is about life, it isn’t a smartphone. You need to regenerate it. It takes time! Price and costs aren’t everything. Quality vs quantity Long term view. If you think buying high quality food it is too expensive you can reduce your food costs by reducing animal protein. Key is externalities, the more they are integrated the easier it is to compete companies with less or positive externalities (which you invested in).Advice to starting impact investors in regenerative agriculture:Look at emerging countries, fair trade isn’t enough, look at the value chainInvesting in the good companies in Europe, help them to scale and to educate their consumers It is too late for being just sustainable we really need to rebuild the economy regeneratively. It’s a new economy we are building!Find all links and show notes:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/03/24/aymeric-jung-josep-segarra. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Propagate Ventures, scaling up agroforestry to every farm----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- I had a long and very interesting conversation with Ethan, Jeremy and Harry, the co-founders of Propagate ventures. Our conversation ranged from chestnuts to crowdfunding and how to get more impact investors into the agroforestry space. As you will hear, we suffered from a bad internet connection which resulted in a lower sound quality. Sorry for that! The reason to start Propagate:For most farmers putting their money in tree-crops for a long term investment was too riskyWhy is Propagate working with companies? They can bring purchasing power and with purchase agreements lower the risk of planting trees. Similar how Power Purchase Agreements have changed the solar industry and got large institutional investors onboard.Example on how Propagate is working with a natural cosmetic company and their purchasing influence: Pre purchase agreements are key to allow to create some certainty for the farmers to put trees in the ground long term. So what about retail investors? Propagate is very interested in retail investors but feels it is too early to start catering to them, despite the huge interest from consumers to invest. Why are they so interested in them? “like corn which grow on a tree!” Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/05/21/jeremy-kaufman-harry-greene-ethan-steinberg. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

How to take the plunge when wanting to invest in regenerative agriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- This time I interviewed Rufo Quintavalle, impact investor and poet. He shared his journey into investing in regenerative agriculture and gave a lot of tips on how to start investing in regenerative agriculture and take the plunge! Instead of Silicon Valleys “Move fast and break things, we need move slowly and build things”Tips of Rufo: Don’t be too hasty but don’t be too slow either, set aside a bit of money you can afford to potentially lose and put it to work.  Get yourself educated and learn, but don’t waste the time of entrepreneurs and fund managers, don’t set up endless calls if you have no interest in investing. Think about where in the value chain you want to invest, the land itself, the processing. Think about the geographies. Think about water, many places have inadequate water supply, so make sure you take that risk into account.Alternative proteins: Rufo is extremely interested in fruits and vegetables with high protein content as replacements for animal protein. There are 4000 thousands fruits in the Amazon, and we don’t know what half of them do. And he is a bit worried about some high tech meat replacements. Clean meat. Because if the IP ends up being owned by a few wealthy people, we maybe create more negative social consequences than we create positive one.

So Eosta started measuring the 20% of the kpis which make up 80% of the impact to find the true cost of organic. Organic apples are for instance 19 euro cents healthier per kilo compared to conventional apples. Only looking at the pesticide differences. By taking data from the EFSA European food safety agency on pesticide residue, and fed that data to the models of DALI disability life year calculation of the WHO. "Organic is not too expensive, conventional (chemical) is too cheap" To raise awareness for the proactive healthcare of food. Eosta will be looking at the health benefits of organic food with a campaign called: doctor Goodfood.

You choose your vegetables and farmers then grow them organically for you and you can keep track of the harvest using the app. Basically it is a real life, organic, version of Farmville. We discussed the lives of Indian farmers and what challenges they face every day and how Farmizen is trying to fix those challenges. Key points:remove short term incentives for the farmers and they will take care of the land (farmers working with Farmizen receive 4/5 times as much and it is predictable)historically India had a very interesting natural farming practises, like Zero budget natural farming which Farmizen is bringing back with modern technologywhen you reconnect consumers with farmers and the land, trust will build Tips from Shameek for investors who want to start investing in the Regenerative Agriculture space:have a much longer investment horizonboth India and China are very interesting markets to look at from a regenerative agriculture point of view.

All of them shared the same approach to working with the soil: ditching the plow, covering the soil and diversifying crop rotations. Meeting these farmers turned him from a pessimist into a cautious optimist. Plus we touched upon a very interesting topic which I hope to discuss further in future interviews (and which will be the topic of a new book of David and his wife Anna). How do we grow more nutrient rich calories instead of just calories? Micro nutrient contents of food has dropped 25-50% over the past decades.Healthy food starts with healthy soil?! Some tips for impact investors:Look at financing the transition, how can you partner with farmers who don’t have the financial resources, make the transition to regenerative agriculture?Look into turning around degraded land and turn it into a net asset. Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/02/17/david-r-montgomery. Please hit the share button if you think this interview is relevant for someone you know!----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

A platform which connects Italian organic fruit farmers directly to the end customers, while paying the farmers a fair price (usually 2 or 3 times as much compared to the traditional distribution channels).This is key in Regenerative Agriculture because if we don't pay our farmers a fair price they can't take care of and improve the land. Osvaldo experienced this problem first hand as his farther got 0,20/0,25 cents for his organic oranges, which were sold 'fresh' in an organic supermarket in Milan for 3,5 euro. Biorfarm pays 0,90 cents to their orange farmers.www.biorfarm.com is now getting ready to scale and will try to raise crowdfunding in the next months. Some key take aways from the conversation:The farmer is happy (with a platform like Biorfarm) because (s)he gets respect as a farmers.The land is the past the present and the future of the farmer, but we don't give them space to improve it.Most farmers want to leave the land in a better shape (better soil health) to their children.

Renee works with investors to identify and invest in sustainable, profit-generating environmental and real asset strategies. We discussed what have been the developments in regenerative agriculture in the last years:holistic grazingcover-crops no-till systemsProgressive smaller HNIs are taking interest in regenerative agri holistic grazing management, key line farming, mixed cropping etc. The main challenges:gap between the funds and the soil/groundthe need for more good risk/return dealslonger timeframe for most conservation practises to generate good returnsInvestment proposals have to be boring for large institutional investor investment committees to approve them. It is much easier to explain a large monoculture GMO corn/soy rotation or invest in feedlot cattle than a regenerative agriculture opportunity.

Co-founder of Herenboeren, a community owned regenerative farm in the Netherlands.----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- This time I interviewed Geert van der Veer, co-founder of Herenboeren. Who bought a farm with 150 families (now growing to 200 families) and hired a farmer to farm the land in the most productive and regenerative way possible. Producing about 60% of the daily food for the families at prices lower than a supermarket. Now Geert is working to help other local communities to do the same, and in doing so helping start 1000 locally owned regenerative farms all over Europe. Local Energy: They always start with local energy, if you want a local Herenboeren farm near you, you need to put in part of the work to gather the local community. Herenboeren will help you with the set up, finding/buying the land, finding the farmer and help run it. But they can’t bring the local energy together to form the strong local community needed to support a thriving Herenboeren farm. Challenges: It proofs really difficult to find farmers who can farm regeneratively at scale:“ We have one challenge because our farmers are always specialised in producing one product, and on our farm they have to do about everything that exists in that way” We also talked about the role of impact investors in this local revolution. Geert sees two options:helping local communities acquire land for a Herenboeren farmhelping Herenboeren (a service organisation which services the Herenboeren in their day to day operation) scale upShow notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2017/10/20/geert-van-der-veer. Please hit the share button if you think this interview is relevant for someone you know!----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

We discussed many things! From soil carbon to drones and from deep roots to how we can show that regenerative agriculture is more profitable than conventional chemical based agriculture.Some key takeaways:“How do you shift from a chemical based agriculture to a biological based agriculture?”“Showing organic farmland is more profitable than conventional agriculture!”Farmland“Organic farmland we have managed generates 72% more revenue per acre.” “53% of US farmland growing 2 commodity crops, corn and soy.”“At least 4-6 times more revenue per acre growing sweet corn than commodity corn”The big shift comes from average farmer understand that sustainable agri is more profitable than chemical farming. Really looking at the land, what work best on this land in a sustainable way?“What is the best way to maximise biological productivity and economic value?” Future developments:They just completed a permanent crop suitability study for some of the land. Looking at the mix of perennial systems plus open ground. Next year they will be getting more technology on the farm, aerial imagery with drones. Consumers:“Milk is the gateway drug to organic products” as first time mothers start asking questions about the milk they give to their newborns. Organic standards aren’t the holy grail, there are some issues with it.

A group of farmers started one of the first organic companies in the US, 30 years ago on Montana.----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- This time I had the great pleasure to interview Liz Carlisle, writer of the Lentil Underground, the amazing story about how five farmers created one of the first organic companies in the US. We discussed how and why she went from country singer to writer! While singing for farmers she kept hearing the issues of farmers. Many farmers in the US work just as hard as before but can’t earn enough anymore to put food on the table. Which is ironic because they are supposed to be growing it. Liz came across this story of 5 farmers in Montana who set up Timeless Food, to market organic lentils (which they were using in their organic grain rotations). But no one was eating lentils or legumes at the time, let alone organic ones. A few things which surprised Liz while writing the book:Many farmers have a global viewFarmers are incredible scientistsThey operate on very complex 10 year rotations between grains, livestock, legumes etc.It takes a long time to build a solid foundation for a values based company, but when that is done you can grow faster. We discussed why Timeless Seeds started 30 years ago:There was a cycle of crisis in the commodity agriculture business Input costs were so high to force people to look for ways to reduce inputs (they started using legume cover crops to insert nitrogen into the soil) Grain prices were so low, people were looking for outside the commodity system.This provided the perfect storm for a new company focussed on selling the cover crop and some extra income to the farmers. Liz's advice for impact investors who want to get into the regenerative agriculture space: Place based, really getting to know the local place! Regenerative agriculture is all about fitting the agricultural system to the place rather than having this one standard one opposed all over the world. Get to know the place/ecosystem really well and find the missing piece of the puzzle for a regenerative agriculture system. As an impact investor you can help to accelerate that transition which needs to come by creating those markets.

Also Michele shared how he influencing other wine companies in Italy and not 'just' his 50 hectares in Tuscany. The wine industry has to reinvent itself and sustainability should be at its core. Michele:'More and more people are ready to put their sustainable values beside their other values (quality and price, service)''Biggest problem is: transparency of the sustainability certifications''Very fragmented distribution channels, distribution partners are not investing in it or pushing it (sustainability). ''Less standards more solid standards'Michele and his colleagues have set up a new solid sustainability standard in Italy to move the whole industry (and not just some niches) to sustainability. The next phase for Salcheto lies not on environmental sustainability but on social. They introduced the first Welfare plan for vineyard employees in Italy. They are hosting children of local schools at the vineyard and turning them into sustainability ambassadors.Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2017/09/06/michele-manelli. Please hit the share button if you think this interview is relevant for someone you know!----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

By focusing on raising slow-growing chickens entirely on pasture, with practices that create healthy soil and regenerate the land. We luckily had time to discuss many things in the interview! How Jesse went from eating meat, to being a vegetarian (after reading the book Eating animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. To hunting his own meat and cook it for his family and friends and finally setting up an heritage chicken company. Some more points we discussed: Our current food industry is really good ad getting a lot of bad food to as many people as possible for the lowest price.Organic was really good to teach people to look at labels, and now we need to teach them beyond the labelsYou need them (the chickens) to be warriors in this system and agents of that healthy changeHalf of what we do is rebuild the supply chain the other half is educationLargest challenge for impact investors to get into the regenerative livestock space: their time horizon and return profile!We discussed transparency and how Emmer & Co pioneers with showing the whole process, for instance through their Chicken experience.A question for you: who knows any models (selling different parts/crops of a regenerative agriculture farms) in the rest of the world, Europe etc.?

His goal is to “transfer as much of the agriculture landscape as possible, to draw down carbon and uplift the local communities” To do that we need to look systemically and target the businesses who are making the big purchases and adding value to the ingredients. Then we dived into the difficulties of “The logistics of bringing diversity to the market place”. Everything is build around mono crops, coming from a few immense farms and a few players spread to very diverse customers (us). “If a farmer no longer has to optimise for a single crop in order to sell bulk and have very low margins, but could sell 5 or even 10 different crops of of the same piece of land. And have those crops efficiently distributed to all of the different buyers, in a way that system of supply can aggregate at the appropriate scales and then distribute at the appropriate scales. We would have a system of supply which can meet a healthy ecosystem where it’s at.”A potential solution: software to allow distributed purchases from diverse agri eco systems. That’s why Gregory and his team are working on Agrispecific Blockchains. Tips from Gregory on how to start in impact investing in Regenerative Agriculture:Where are places where I already have some ideas on the extractive economy looks like. If it’s vegetables, or commodities, te coffee, cosmetics, or real estate. And then ask yourself the question: “what might a play look like in the new disruptive, distributed, regenerative economy in this place where I’m already excited about?”Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2017/07/05/gregory-landua. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

You need to look at Landscape scale/Ecosystem scale to really understand the risks of your investments. what you need to look for in landscape partnerships to identify the good ones where you can make investments. Good local partnerships greatly reduce the risk of agriculture investments. And we discussed some tools Sara and her team are working on:a tool for investors to find Landscape Partnerships which are working (and thus greatly reducing the risks of the investment) tools and methodes for larger financial institutions to screen their current agriculture investment portfolio for stranded assets. Or at least make sure they don't to add more stranded assets to their portfolio.Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2017/05/10/sara-scherr. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Thomas and his co founder ended up working on land tenures because it seemed the key factor in how to unlock value for economic development for small holder farmers. Thomas shared his experience of building this startup on the ground in Ghana. How they pivoted and changed many of their first assumptions as soon as they started working with real customers:) They took an ancient system of land rights/tenures and digitalise some parts of it, so land rights could finally reach most of the farmers and not just a few. Because without land documentation no farmer will ever invest in their land because it could be taken away any moment.Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2017/05/01/thomas-vaassen. I’m a small angel investor in Landmapp.----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Using cows and holistic management to regenerate soils, with a 100M impact investing fund. ----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- I had a conversation with Tony Lovell, Co founder and CEO of SLM Partners an asset manager that acquires and manages rural land on behalf of institutional investors, to scale up regenerative, ecological farming and forestry systems. Mainly talking about their Australian projects where they use livestock to regenerate the soils. They had some tough first years of the fund (two of of the worst droughts ever recorded) but things seems to be going better now. We also talked about the resistance innovators like SLM face when doing something different in a conservative sector like agriculture. Both from the farmers side as from the investors side, it takes a lot of courage (or necessity) to try something different.Some more points we touched in the interview:Regenerative Agriculture isn’t spreadsheet agricultureWe are building a little village around each grass plantStress on animals is the biggest hidden cost on livestock Your investment, is based on biology Where does it (regenerative agriculture) fit in a portfolio, not connected to other asset classes, oil prices etc.What role does regenerative agriculture play in your portfolio? Is it solid and stable enough for a decade or longer?Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2017/02/07/tony-lovell. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.
