WOW! What a year! Thanks for listening, sharing and sustaining this work!
SOME REALITIES:
STREAMS
Greater than 25 brand-new episodes, + 50 k streams!, 7 short tracks (among them Allan Savory on lobbying! ,), 13 recaps of episodes and … the year isn’t over yet.
SHIFT FINANCE COLLECTION
A new collection! We released a new collection concentrated on Transition Financing with my co-host and regen farmer Benedikt Boesel
A collection where we discover the potential and difficulties of Shift Money to speed up the regenerative shift on middle/large ranches. We are making use of Benedikt’s farm as an study to try to find the key principles which can be used anywhere.
And … WE NEED YOU Do you have wonderful examples of shift money in regen ag? Let us know in the remarks!
Pay attention to the initial episodes here Where we established the phase and share the history of Benedikt and the ranch!
PATREON
We released a Patreon neighborhood to support us in making more web content and more than 35 people signed up with! In 2020 we will certainly be launching more Patron just content and perks. Like:
- Ask Me Anything webinars
- QA with interviewees of the podcast, so you can ask all the inquiries I did not:-RRB-
What did I discover this year?
DEMAND TO FOCUS!
There are numerous meetings I wish to make (my current long list includes greater than 240 names). And although the neighborhood on Patreon is growing, the podcasts are something I do alongside paid job.
Because the start of 2019 I’m trying (and not always prospering) to focus on the parts within the regen food and ag area with the greatest prospective effect I built and made use of a decision making structure ahead to the complying with 3 themes:
- Nutrient thick food
- Technology made it possible for landscape style
- Payment systems for farmers for ecological community services
And
- Transition Money (to finance it all)
If you would like to know more regarding the structure I made to pick these topics please discover a lot more below
(and allow me understand what you believe and why you concur or disagree!)
This is a really individual listing (since Individual Fit evaluates heavily in the structure so you would probably think of a different top priority listing.
Desire you a joyous holiday season!
Expecting regrow a lot more dirts and much more hectares in 2020 and in the following decade!
Numerous many thanks,
Koen
Right here a deeper dive into these 4 themes of the regen food and ag space! Delight in!
Modern technology made it possible for landscape layout
What is needed to take regenerative agriculture to the watershed, ecological community level? To respond to the question: what to plant where and why? Taking into account environment versions for the next 20 years, native knowledge, market situations and much more. A series of interviews with the leading landscape doers which may make this shift (lastly) possible.
Why currently?
Deep knowing computer systems perhaps lastly make it feasible to try to find network results in Landscape restoration, and address component of the inquiry what to plant where for max result.
Current interviews on this:
- Russell Wallack, Brasa
- Arnout, Harrie, Koen, Land Life Firm
- Paul Chatterton, WWF Landscape Money Lab
- Zach Weiss, Elemental Ecosystems
Making Nutrients visible
Just how to make the nutrient differences visible in regenerative food? Will brand-new innovation reveal the link between: healthy and balanced soils– healthy and balanced produce– healthy and balanced gut– healthy people to customers and capitalists? And hence revolutionise the food and agri industry? A series of interviews with the brand-new technology service providers that are promising this over the next 5 years.
Why now:
Tech may ultimately make this immediate and inexpensive, plus connection with healthy and balanced soils.
Recent interviews on this:
- Dan Kittredge, Biography Nutrient Food organization
- Greg Shewmaker, TeakOrigin
- Remain tuned for even more interviews on this in 2020
Settlement systems for carbon and water storage space in healthy and balanced dirts
Pay farmers for community services like biodiversity, water storage space and carbon storage Paying enough completely nutrient rich food isn’t enough for the substantial transition needed.
Why now:
Blockchain and comparable tech plus perhaps perhaps markets are ready to pay for water storage space, biodiversity and carbon monoxide 2 storage?
Recent interviews on this:
Shift Finance
Change money which requires to finance this huge transition. How funds and investment automobiles are actioning in to finance these shifts in firms and on farms. Checking Out Climate Bonds, Environment-friendly Bonds, new funds, cars combined finance, crowdlending/funding etc.
Why now:
An increasing number of fund supervisors and capitalists are seeing the potential of dirt.
Current meetings on this:
- Geert van der Veer, Herenboeren UPDATE
- Sean Kidney, Climate Bonds Initiative
- Bert Glover, Effect AG Allies
Discover far more regarding the structure and the thinking behind this on www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com
Other topics not less important, yet much less pertinent for me to concentrate at (in the meantime):
- Farmers initially technology and software program
Making use of all this info to obtain functional daily decisions at the farmer degree - Return nutrients to the dirt
Circular economic climate, new developments in composting, biochar, insect fertiliser, seaweed all to accelerate the regeneration of soil - Protein conversation
What is the duty of animals in regenerative agriculture (if there is one). From how different healthy proteins (soy, oats, almonds) are grown and can offer the reconstruction of communities to just how pests, poultries, pigs are generating proteins and fertilizer from food waste. - Short chains/food webs de-commodify food titans
Making sure that farmers make money rather for generating outstanding food filled with nutrients - Land possession
Land possession is a barrier to regenerative took care of landscapes. If indeed, what are methods to repair that?
