#13 - Why investing in regenerative agriculture makes a lot of sense (Koen van Seijen)
My guest this week is Koen van Seijen, host of the Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast. Over the last 7 years, he has recorded and published over 300 conversations with inspiring people looking to transform our food system from the most destructive activity on the planet into a powerful climate solution.
In this conversation, Koen explains why he believes that investing in regenerative agriculture makes a lot of sense. We also discuss some of his favorite episodes and guests:
🐮Matt Chatfield - How a nature-friendly approach can produce high-quality meat while supporting biodiversity.
🙏Satish Kumar - Nature is incredibly complex and intelligent. We need to be more humble and work with nature, but stop thinking we can outsmart it.
🧑🌾New Foundation Farm - Their vision of showing that a large-scale complex multi species farm can be financially profitable while selling foods for an affordable price is ambitious and inspiring. If they show that it’s possible, it could create a big shift.
🧑⚕️Zack Bush - a doctor who has been studying the impact of glyphosate on health, showing how detrimental to health chemical inputs actually are.
🫶Benedikt Bösel who also has an impressive transition story and who has become a great friend since they recorded a whole podcast series together.
I asked him a whole range of questions and we got into some really interesting conversations about nutrient density, farmers’ mental health, agricultural subsidies, technology and much much more.
I wholeheartedly recommend listening to the full conversation on the Deep Seed podcast (link in the comments below) 🎧
