This is a check-in conversation with Lauren Tucker, co-founder of Kiss the Ground and Renourish Studios. We talk about wrapping up the cohort at Renourish Studio, where they've worked for three years with a diverse group of entrepreneurs and investors across the US food and agriculture system.How do you bring the fact that we are part of a living system into your work in commercial organisations? Lauren shares lessons learned, and what they're doing moving forward. How much of this work is inner work—how we see the world, what we think is possible and not—vs. outer work like planting cover crops, digging swales, showing the financials and nutrient density of almonds, and demonstrating how regenerative farming systems are more alive by measuring biodiversity? How do we open up to opportunities like small water cycle restoration, instead of only thinking about cover crops on our farm?More about this episode.==========================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 conversation with Maria Jensen, co-founder of Antler Bio, helping dairy farmers identify and address factors limiting their herd's full potential. What if cows could speak? Especially dairy cows. They would probably share not only the horrors of the dairy industry, but also stories of many dairy farmers who truly try their best to care for their animals and yet still fail. Their cows are neither healthy nor happy, their bank accounts look worse every year, and their mental health and marriages are shaky. Intensive dairy, unless you are massive, is a very difficult industry.So how do we change this gridlock? By taking technology from the horse racing industry to let cows and herds speak: to share what's missing, what could be improved. And, surprise, there is plenty of low-hanging fruit in improving dairy cows' lives practically overnight from better minerals to more water points, and of course the holy grail: super-diverse pasture management.This leads to healthier cows, fewer vet costs, and more milk.More about this episode.==========================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 check-in conversation with Thomas Kliemt, co-founder of Kulturland, which has been growing and they are suddenly, after 10 years in the making, an overnight success. In the first 6 months of 2025, they accelerated their fundraising by 100%, raising the same €2.5m they raised in all of 2024.Once you enable access to land, transition it into the commons as an anti-speculation measure, and remove the huge debt burden new farmers face, who is actually going to farm this land? That's what Thomas' next venture is working to solve, inspired by a highly successful French model which has trained hundreds of farmers in running their businesses through incubator farms: new farmers work their own land for 3 years, run their enterprises, and receive a salary. Afterward, they are ready to take over a farm elsewhere and, remarkably, over 75% of them do. Many of the rest join other farms as employees. This is an incredibly high success rate for any incubator, and the model has already scaled to Belgium, Spain, and Finland. Now Thomas is bringing it to Germany.More about this episode.==========================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.

Straight from Copenhagen, a conversation with Rasmus Nørgaard, co-founder of Urban Partners, Home.Earth and Nordhus with over two decades of experience in real estate, pushing the boundaries of sustainability within conventional systems. With Rasmus we dive deep into the world of real estate. The built environment is one of the three major sectors that needs a complete systems change, alongside with agrifood and energy.What happens when you reimagine real estate development from first principles? What can the regenerative agriculture and food sector learn from one of the pioneers of sustainable real estate? Rasmus shares the revolutionary approach behind Home.Earth, a company proving that sustainable, affordable housing can also be profitable. He is building a much more holistic for-profit company that is reinventing real estate from the ground up. Yes, we talk a lot about buildings and homes, but there are so many overlaps with agriculture and food. Let's face it: soil is a real asset in investment terms.More about this episode.==========================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.

Legend alarm on the podcast! We are happy to welcome the Haggerty's family, Ian and Dianne, together with their son Matthew, on the podcast sharing their 30+ year journey- from being considered the hippie weirdos to leading a movement in Western Australia- showing that you can absolutely farm regeneratively at scale, in this case over 60,000 acres, with deep regeneration. Leading regenerative farmer and co-founder of Natural Intelligence Farming (NIF), the Haggertys' farm is a living example of a harmonious alignment of soil, plant, animal, and human microbiomes in farm ecosystems.They regularly take on new land, but only if they feel the land wants and needs them to manage it. In other words, they don't go looking for land, the land finds them. Often this land is extremely degraded, and they bring it back to life with the help of sheep, whose gut microbiome kickstarts regeneration, followed by well-integrated annuals.We also dive into the different water cycles they are influencing and how these have even affected local rainfall. Of course, we unpack the massive mindset shift that is fundamental in the regenerative transition, vibrations, quantum agriculture, and rebuilding local supply webs. We cover it all. More about this episode.==========================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.

De MSCI Emerging Markets Index zit al meer dan een half jaar in de lift. Het is dan ook een ontwikkeling waar beide experts in deze aflevering van BeursTalk op aanslaan. Marc Langeveld van het Antaurus AI Tech Fund legt uit: "De dollar daalt in waarde, niet alleen ten opzichte van de euro, maar wordt ook goedkoper voor opkomende landen. Dat houdt de inflatie daar onder controle." Marc kijkt dan ook met interesse naar techbedrijven in Azië, maar ook in Latijns-Amerika. Koen Bender van Mercurius Vermogensbeheer is eveneens positief, ook vanuit het oogpunt van risicospreiding. "Wij hebben altijd al Emerging Markets in portefeuille gehad voor onze klanten. Dat hoort thuis in een goed gespreide portfolio. Je compenseert er ook de pijn van de zwakke dollar enigszins mee." Wat betreft het sentiment zijn beide experts voorzichtig. Naast de prestaties van bedrijven moet je tegenwoordig de geopolitieke ontwikkelingen ook goed in de gaten houden, het wordt complexer. Dat maakt het dan ook lastig, vinden Marc en Koen, om in dit klimaat harde uitspraken te doen over de ontwikkeling op de beurzen. Verder bespreken we in de podcast onder andere de cijfers van CVC Capital en Saleforce en de aanstaande beursgang van fintechbedrijf Klarna.

A walking the land episode with Sarah Hellebek, deputy head at Krogerup Højskole, who spent years at the heart of Denmark's climate activist movement. By most measures, she was successful, climate made it onto the political agenda, though never strongly enough. But the fight came with a cost: it also made her pretty depressed, she was- in her own words- mostly shouting in front of the Parliament. Until a tour visiting progressive Danish farmers exposed her to the world of regeneration and she dove right into it. After spending a lot of time on different farms she noticed the need to train the next generation, as the current ag school system in Denmark (and everywhere else for that matter) doesn't prepare you to run farms and embrace complexity. So she started her own school, outside the free super subsidied Danish school system.We talk about why the next generation of farmers has to be trained by practitioners not teachers and why your holistic context is so important and pretty scary to dive into that in week 1 of your education. She felt she had to get some dirt under her nails and set up a market garden which hosts a lot of activities. We end with a deep dive into our role as positive key stone species.More about this episode.==========================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 barefoot conversation across his Danish farmland with Frederik Lean Hansen, advisor on regenerative farm finance, revealing the efficiency of his pasture-raised chicken operation and Abunda, the revolutionary business he's building to connect land holders with entrepreneurial farmers.How many times have you visited a farm or heard a story from a farmer or landowner who wished for more people on the farm? Someone to start a market garden, run a chicken operation, or build an advanced biofertiliser brewery? More stacked enterprises, more diversity, and more hands and eyes on the land- of course, only if it makes financial sense. But let's assume that's the case. Where do you find these entrepreneurial people who fit your context, your farm, country, culture, and personality? And once you find them, how do you structure the financial and legal side to create a partnership that lasts?We probably all agree that we need more well-paid people on the land—so how do we make that happen?This episode is a conversation where we walk the land (just a few hectares) and check in on the latest developments: pasture-based chickens on Fred's farm, the earliest steps into agroforestry and, most importantly, Fred's new venture focused on land matching. More about this episode.==========================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.

And more importantly, what can we do about it?We dive into her work with Foodprint Nordic and how they're about to expand it to the rest of Europe. Very simply, but of course, it's not that simple, the idea is to access a whole new pool of money not yet active in this space: the money of us eaters, and funnel it as quickly and with as few strings attached as possible to farmers ready to expand regenerative practices, planting trees, buying compost equipment, and more.And even more importantly, how this approach could serve as a blueprint for real regional, and potentially national, action, helping shape government policy that truly supports regenerative farmers on the ground.More about this episode.==========================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 conversation with Darren J Doherty, co-founder of Regrarians, in the space of regeneration and regenerating for over 35 years, about the role of technology, AI, and large language models in training farmers and agronomists. We touch on how expensive and too-short workshops are hurting everyone, and why a hybrid model, grounded on the land and in person, combined with much longer online engagement, might be one way to move forward.We also explore what it means to reinvent yourself after spending years deeply immersed in a project, only to resurface and realise the regenerative world has shifted. Suddenly, you need to work harder to get attention, to find work, and to fill your courses. And yet, there's so much value in being able to draw on decades of experience and the thousands upon thousands of farmers and land stewards you've worked with through times of transition.We ask why larger corporations haven't reached out to tap into this expertise: why aren't they calling about training their farmers or agronomists? It seems we may be exiting the phase of dogmatic pioneers, the era when it had to be permaculture, or holistic management, or keyline design, and entering something more pragmatic. A moment where the focus is shifting toward whatever actually works: on your land, in your human context, and within your market.More about this episode.==========================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 conversation with Rob de Laet, project lead of Cooling the Climate and co-author of the book Cooling the Climate: How to Revive the Biosphere and Cool the Earth Within 20 Years. The science is pretty clear and getting clearer by the day: water cools the planet. The more living, healthy vegetation we have on this planet, predominately perennials and thus trees, agroforestry systems and healthy forests, the cooler the climate is and the less extreme weather events occur. Living plants literally make the Earth sweat and remove heat from the biosphere.Humans have systematically devegetated the planet as Judith D. Schwartz likes to say, and the ongoing climate weirding suggests we may have gone too far. Now we're seeing real calculations: how many square kilometres do we need to regenerate to lower the global temperature by just one degree?If this is all becoming increasingly evident, why isn't it common knowledge yet, especially in the headquarters of banks, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, and governments?This is the story of a successful entrepreneur getting drawn into water cycle restoration, planetary cooling and all the good stuff that comes with it. We share notes on why this movement, maybe the defining story of our time, hasn't broken through yet and what we can do about it.More about this episode.==========================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 conversation with Sheila Darmos, co-founder of the Southern Lights, based in the southern Peloponnese, Greece with the mission is to spread knowledge, techniques, and the mindset for regenerative practices across all domains of human activity. Sheila is also a co-founding farmer of the European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture (EARA) and serves as an EU Soil Mission Ambassador.A question we get very often is: which place or country is leading the regenerative movement? It's obviously a very complex question to answer, but after talking to Sheila, our answer might be Greece. Having battled numerous economic and non- economic crises, it seems that those who have stayed don't have much to lose. There is a strong back-to-the-land movement, well-organized local organizations helping farmers and land stewards' transition, and people who want to return to the land more easily.Perhaps the fact that 10% of the workforce is still active in agriculture helps, along with Greece's long history of farming without fully going down the super-mechanized, industrial, extractive path. The rural-urban divide is very real and it's not easy at all, but maybe farming and food are the way to break down those barriers.More about this episode.==========================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.

ASML kreeg het hard te verduren op de dag van de kwartaalcijfers. Het bedrijf was niet 100 procent zeker dat het volgend jaar zou groeien, maar de gepresenteerde cijfers waren prima. Toch begrijpt Stan Westerterp (Bond Capital Partners) de reactie van beleggers wel. "Als je geen groei laat zien, dan heb je in de techsector niks te zoeken. Aan de andere kant, misschien legt de nieuwe ceo de lat nu bewust laag, zodat de resultaten laten meevallen", iets wat Stan niet bevalt. Koen Bender (Mercurius Vermogensbeheer) sluit niet uit dat de nieuwe topman bewust met een schone lei wil beginnen. "Maar je gaat mij niet vertellen, met de vraag die er is in de wereld, dat ASML volgens jaar niet gewoon weer groei laat zien." Stan is het daar ook helemaal mee eens. Het sentiment, afgezien van ASML, is helemaal niet slecht. De S&P500, en niet alleen de techsector, laten records zien. Het heeft er alle schijn van dat beleggers het handelstumult met een korrel zout nemen. Dat wordt ook gereflecteerd in bedrijfscijfers, zeker die van Amerikaanse banken, die er nog steeds uitstekend uitzien.

A conversation with farmer Benedikt Bösel, farmer and regen agronomist Matteo Mazzola and Philippe Birker, co-founder of Climate Farmers. We need regenerative agronomists. Because let's face it — most farmers trust their agronomist, and the chances that their agronomist is trained in regen are pretty small. We're moving from the first group of super ambitious, entrepreneurial, and slightly rebellious farmers who have made the transition, to a larger group who want to transition but can take less risk and will need support. So, who do they call when they want to start their transition? Current agriculture schools for agronomists are still very much focused on extractive, highly input- driven agriculture. Farmers often want a checklist and a protocol to "go regen" — but it might be more about asking uncomfortable questions.So how do we go about changing that? This is three-part conversation today with:Philippe Birker, who is setting up the Regen Agronomist Training in Europe, a 6-months intensive training program designed to equip agronomists with practical and theoretical knowledge in regenerative agriculture, with the first pilot happening this year.Benedikt Bösel, farmer at Gut&Bösel, whose farm will serve as a training farm, while sharing his experience with getting help taking his first steps into regen.Matteo Mazzola, regenerative farmer at Iside, who also works with many others supporting their transition.More about this episode.==========================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 conversation with Anat Shenker-Osorio, founder of A.S.O. Communications, a progressive political communication bureau known for slogans such as “Don't take the temperature, change it” and “A great message doesn't say what's already popular; a great message makes popular what needs to be said".We try so hard in the regenerative (and probably any other progressive) space to work on our messaging, how to communicate, how to reach people inside our bubble and beyond. We try to speak to those within the agrochemical and food industry, to make them see how environmentally sound, healthy, and economically interesting a different food and agriculture system could be. But somehow, we haven't gotten very far. We're constantly out-lobbied and outsmarted by the very well-organised extractive ag industry. (No, this isn't an evil conspiracy, but it is definitely well-organised.)With Anat we dive deep into the world of effective campaigning, messaging, and communication. Because we're always going to be up against a much higher budget, but let's at least use the airspace we do have as effectively as possible.But we've got news for you: most people don't want to join the losing team. So, stop communicating like we've already lost. Start getting people to join the small but winning team. Don't deny reality and never lie. But do understand what makes people listen, and more importantly, what makes them take action: consume differently, protest, organise, vote (if you can).Because in the end, this is all about who has the power.More about this episode.==========================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 conversation with Anand Ethirajalu, farmer-turned-ecologist and project director for the Save Soil movement.We don't talk about it much, but we should: a remarkable transition has been unfolding on the Indian subcontinent over the past few decades. Hundreds of thousands- if not millions- of farmers have been trained in regenerative practicesand have successfully made the switch. Yes, with higher yields and greater profits, largely due to significantly lower production costs.In the conversation, we focus on one region where the Save Soil movement, led by Sadhguru, has been training more than 10,000 farmers per year.There are countless lessons to be learned. Soil can recover quickly, but shifting farmers' mindsets often takes much longer. One key strategy: don't risk the whole farm. Start with just 10%, and show immediate financial results—higher profits. Provide crucial support in the early years, especially during the first growing season.More and more farmers are also joining programs to plant permanent crops like timber and fruit trees, both as a form of insurance and with the broader goal of planting enough trees (currently over 12 million a year) to begin “harvesting the clouds”. More about this episode.==========================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.

It just doesn't happen very often we record in a field surrounded by cows just after a cow gave birth to a calf. There is not more fitting place to explore the super complex role of animals in the food and agriculture space than walking the landing- and standing amongst the cows- with Benedikt Boesel, founder and farmer at Gut&Bosël, in Alt Madlitz, in Germany. We discuss everything from how much joy animals bring to a farm and how complex it is to treat them well and how they are a direct mirror of your actions. We talk as well about the moment in which the cows are taken out of the system, and how Benedikt does that.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/benedikt-boesel-2.This is a Walking the land episode, find the video on our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@investinginregenerativeagr8568 ==========================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.

We're diving deep into some serious discussions about the shifting dynamics in Europe, particularly how the political landscape, especially with Trump's influence, is shaking things up. Economists Koen De Leus & Philippe Gijsels who authored a compelling book on the New World Economy, argue that Trump's policies might actually be a wake-up call for Europe, pushing it to innovate and stand on its own. We explore the concept of multi-globalization, where emerging markets are stepping into the spotlight as global trade partners, and how the geopolitical climate is driving this change. We also touch on the implications of these shifts for global markets and the economy, especially in terms of energy and raw materials. It's a thought-provoking chat that challenges our views on dependency and the future of Europe in a rapidly changing world.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Koen on LinkedIn.Follow Philippe on LinkedIn.Learn more about their book.Episode TimeStamps: 02:09 - Welcoming back Koen De Leus & Philippe...
