50 Bert Glover, investing $160M to regenerate Australian soils

Working hard to bring more revenue back to the farm gate for farmers who are delivering ecosystem services! Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture. If this content has been of value to you and you have the means, please become part of my Patreon community to help me grow: www.patreon.com/regenerativeagriculture Other ways to support my work: - Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating - Or buy me a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture - We're seeing our consumers and our society saying we want ethically produced food and fibre and we have an expectation of you the farmers that you're going to do the right thing. - We see more and more opportunity to bring more revenue back to the farm gate for farmers who are delivering ecosystem services. - We really believe that we only borrow our natural assets from our children and we believe that you know in the production of food and fibre it shouldn't be at the cost of the environment and it shouldn't be at the cost of the human race globally. - And our objective here is to sit between the financial sector and the operating sector which is the farming sector and help both of those participants deliver better than average triple bottom line results - If consumers can recognize that in the past they've bought food and it's been a relatively low financial cost but it's been at the cost of the environment. If we can change their mindset from commodity based food to premium high quality nutrient dense food, clean food, slow food I think that's when we can really start to capture more change.

Measurements keep coming back as a key point! In the interview with Abby Rose we discussed the how farmers can measure their own soil health: https://soundcloud.com/investinginregenerativeagriculture/interview-abby-rose

 We discussed carbon as a proxy also with Chuck Liedekerke in his interview: https://soundcloud.com/investinginregenerativeagriculture/interview-charles-de-liedekerke
