243 Paul Greive – How the biggest exit in regeneration led to millions of more chickens on pasture

A conversation with Paul Greive, founder of Pasturebird, about rising millions of birds on pasture per year, selling to one of the largest chicken producers in the world, the positive impact of chickens, and much more.Can chickens ever be regenerative? With Paul we discuss the impact on degraded farmland, replacing fossil fuel and toxic fertilisers and, of course, one of the biggest exits in the regen space!Not many can say that they build a successful pasture chicken operation, sold it to a 8 billion a year chicken company and, after this successful exit, continued from within this massive corporation to scale pasture-raised birds to millions of chickens. So, do we need big ag in the regeneration transition?---------------------------------------------------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/paul-greive.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

238 Millán Millán - Farm water at its proper scale

A conversation with Dr Millán Millán, director of the Centro de Estudios Ambientales del Mediterráneo (CEAM), about restoring the small water cycle, 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 and much more.Learn from one of the key researchers in the water cycles space! Trained in Canada, aeronautical engineer who came back to his home land Spain, Millán Millán was tasked by the European Commission to research why the summer storms and rains that used to fall everywhere around the Mediterranean have now disappeared. And how this turned out to be connected to massive snows in UK, massive floods in Central Europe. This we knew in the seventies, the eighties, the nineties and definitely in the two thousands. What needs to be done and what can be done? Why has not been done? Learn from the frustrations of working with large political institutions like the European Commission that don’t have a muscle memory, a political memory or a solution memory anymore. They keep reinventing the wheel, they keep asking the some questions over and over again. Learn what Millán would do with a billion euro. How would he invest it? How would he put it to work and what effects could that have?---------------------------------------------------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/millan-millan.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

237 Farmers’ Philosophy - Anne van Leeuwen, regenerative farmer and co-owner of Bodemzicht Farm

This is a conversation between Koen van Seijen, host of the Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast, and Anne van Leeuwen, regenerative farmer and co-owner of Bodemzicht Farm. A deep dive into the non-existence of the divide between nature and culture, getting back in touch with yourself, nutrient dense food as basic human right, community, minimum wage, true cost economy, agtech and much more.In this episode we discuss the need for a paradigm shift in farming, entrepreneurship, and our connection with nature. We delve into the power of collaboration, specialization, and long-term thinking, inspired by Anne's experiences. We discuss the urgency of reconnecting with nature and the role every individual can play in this process. The episode doesn't shy away from the challenges either. From striking a balance between economic and environmental sustainability to making nutritious, locally grown food accessible to everyone, we touch on it all.Finally the conversation focused on human health, exploring its potential and the need to bring this crucial subject into medical conversations. Anne passionately advocates for investment in regenerative agriculture and indigenous organizations, believing in the power of long-term thinking. We end our discussion by contemplating a world where everyone is awake to the reality of the climate crisis, understanding their role in the ecosystem, and taking positive action.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share iThoughts?

236 Alpha Lo - What if water is more important than carbon

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.

234 Cristina Domecq - Building a regenerative movement by connecting 350000 consumers directly with 250 farmers

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-domecqThoughts?
