353 Sébastien Crépieux - Insects, the perfect livestock to reintegrate into an arable farm

Investing in Regenerative Agriculture

A conversation with Sébastien Crépieux, founder of Invers, developing a decentralised insect farming supply chain for animal nutrition, placing farmers at the heart of the model. The role of animals and livestock in farming is something we cover frequently, but we've never discussed insects which can transform immense amounts of agricultural waste—such as leftovers from beer brewing or wheat milling—into high-quality protein and fats. Perhaps most importantly, their frass (manure) is an amazing fertilizer. Of course, humans could consume insect protein directly, but in the Global North, this is rare and may take a long time to change. Insect protein is also an excellent poultry feed, but its greatest impact may be in aquaculture—specifically, fish feed. The immense destruction caused by industrial bottom-trawling fishing fleets is difficult to describe and comprehend. However, it's safe to say that catching anchovies or krill for fish meal—to feed salmon and other fish—is highly inefficient and environmentally harmful.With Sébastien we explore a decentralized approach to insect farming in France, one that focuses on putting farmers at the centre—not by reintegrating large ruminants into farms, but rather small mealworms. Why not go super-centralized with massive facilities and raise hundreds of millions of euros, as some other companies have done? Why hasn't more insect meal been sold to the aquaculture sector to help reduce pressure on the oceans?More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/sebastien-crepieux.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

A Deep Dive into Effective Leadership and Organizational CultureIn a recent episode of our podcast, we had the pleasure of hosting Karl Martin, the founder of Arable, who shared his profound insights on leadership, organizational culture, and the essential qualities that define effective leaders. Karl's discussion was rich with actionable advice and expert perspectives, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in enhancing their leadership skills and fostering a positive organizational culture. This blog post will break down the key themes and tips from the episode, providing a comprehensive guide to effective leadership.Karl Martin introduced Arable as a company dedicated to enhancing leadership and culture within organizations. Their approach begins with building trust with CEOs, which then extends to their teams and the entire organization. Karl identified two significant shortcomings in current leadership practices: the lack of leadership education and the focus on skill sets over mindsets. He argues that leadership should be a core component of education, emphasizing the importance of teaching qualities such as bravery, kindness, and curiosity alongside traditional skills.Karl critiques the tendency to create specialized leadership programs, arguing that leadership should be integrated across all fields. He believes that every professional, whether a doctor, accountant, or president, should possess strong leadership skills. His book, "The Cave, the Road, the Table, and the Fire: Leading from a Deeper Place," explores the spatial nature of leadership and outlines four key qualities that leaders should cultivate: authenticity, bravery, kindness, and curiosity. These principles, along with Arable's bespoke programs, offer a valuable framework for fostering a culture of trust, growth, and effective leadership in today's complex organizational landscape.About Karl Martin:With over twenty-five years of experience building organizations and maximizing team potential, Karl Martin founded Arable in 2020, inspired by the lush Scottish countryside surrounding his home. Arable, named after the fertile land "capable of cultivation and growth," is dedicated to creating bespoke ecosystems where leaders and organizations can truly flourish.Karl coaches some of the world's most influential leaders, including executives from Toyota Motors North America, NBCUniversal, X (formerly Twitter), Saatchi & Saatchi, the BBC, Joe Gibbs Racing, and more.Renowned for his deep, soul-centered coaching approach, Karl helps leaders embody the qualities of being True, Brave, Kind, and Curious through Arable's unique leadership development system. Arable also partners with leadership teams to drive cultural transformation within organizations.A sought-after keynote speaker, Karl is also the author of three books, including his latest, The Cave, The Road, The Table, and The Fire, which explores how to lead from a deeper, more authentic place.He divides his time between his home in Scotland and the U.S. He's married to Niki, and they have four grown daughters.About Arable Consulting:Arable is an executive coaching, leadership development, and organizational culture agency who partners with leaders and teams to develop healthy cultures through our programs, consultation, and coaching. We launched in 2020 but carry over 50 years of experience building organizations and individuals to their potential. Arable is passionate about helping organizations grow well. We are committed to developing thriving teams and excelling leaders by creating cultures of health.

Jim first appeared on this show on episode 256 back in 2021 and I was pleased to get a chance to sit down for a second interview with him in person at World AgriTech in March. His background is impressive. Prior to joining Arable in 2018, he spent 10 years at The Climate Corporation where he was VP of Product and grew the company to 50 million paid acres and built a team from 10 to over 600 individuals. So he started at Climate in 2008 when they were still called Weatherbill and stayed with the company through the big acquisition in 2013 and for years after that. So Jim has been thinking about the challenges and opportunities in digital agriculture for a long long time and it shows in the insights he shares in this episode. If you're not familiar with Arable, they are an ag technology company that provides data insights and recommendations to help farms be more productive and sustainable. Specifically they have created an intuitive system for farmers and agronomists to optimize irrigation, fertilizer applications and other important farm decisions. This is all based around their Arable Mark 3 device. Jim is also one of the guests suggested by Lawrence King at Headstorm to give one of their client testimonials. Similar to Amie at Wilbur Ellis and Claudia at Microsoft, I wanted to make this one a full length episode because Jim is someone I wanted to have back on the show anyway to get an update on Arable and more of his insights on the future of ag. And he doesn't disappoint. I'll drop you into the conversation where he's explaining the key insight from farmers that informs the work they do at Arable.

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation to a group of priests in Toronto, on January 16, 2024. Like brother Lawrence's experience in the 17th century, he saw a tree in the winter, and it was just branches, without leaves or flowers. But upon looking at it, he received the grace to realize that within just a few months that tree would be totally in bloom. This gave him a deep view of the providence of God which would never be faced from his soul. Formation is “self-cultivation”.  This is like irrigating and cultivating a piece of arable land so that it will produce good crops.
