After three years, Thomas Hogenhaven, founder and managing partner of Planetary Impact Ventures, is back on the podcast. Thomas and his team just turned down a $7 million investment in their fund. That's right—said no to $7 million. And this wasn't some shady source of capital either. This was a serious, institutional investor, fully compliant with KYC requirements. So… why walk away?More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/thomas-hogenhaven.==========================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.

Leefstijl die wérkt – hoe beweging, voeding en PSYCH-K elkaar versterkenIn deze aflevering duiken we in een vernieuwend leefstijlprogramma dat beweging, voeding en PSYCH-K combineert in één samenhangend traject. Geen losstaande adviezen, maar een aanpak die lichaam én brein meeneemt in duurzame gedragsverandering.We bespreken met Koen en Kirsten waarom veel mensen ondanks goede intenties toch blijven terugvallen in oude gewoontes, en hoe je daar écht iets aan kunt doen. PSYCH-K speelt hierin een sleutelrol. Deze methode richt zich op het herprogrammeren van beperkende overtuigingen in het onderbewuste brein — precies dáár waar ons gedrag en onze automatische keuzes worden aangestuurd.PSYCH-K maakt gebruik van spiertesten en eenvoudige lichaamshoudingen om communicatie tussen de linker- en rechterhersenhelft te verbeteren. Hierdoor kunnen diepgewortelde overtuigingen, zoals "gezond eten is moeilijk" of "ik ben niet sportief", worden vervangen door overtuigingen die verandering juist ondersteunen.Je hoort in deze aflevering:Hoe voeding en beweging samenwerken om lichaam en energie in balans te brengenWat PSYCH-K inhoudt en waarom het zo krachtig is bij leefstijlveranderingConcrete voorbeelden van mensen die hun gedrag duurzaam zagen veranderenHoe het programma mensen helpt om zélf de regie over hun gezondheid te nemenEen aflevering voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in leefstijl, coaching of persoonlijke groei — en wil weten hoe je meer bereikt als je het brein meeneemt in de verandering.De Paramedics Podcast is een initiatief van Paramedics Fysiotherapie en Sport met de hoofdvestiging in Assen, het Parijs van Drenthe.

Zijn er echt mensen op de maan geweest? Is de aarde eigenlijk wel rond? En worden we niet in het geheim geregeerd door vermomde reptielen? Het zijn samenzweringstheorieën die Jan Paul Schutten ontrafelt en weerlegt in zijn non-fictiekinderboek 'Complot' (Blauw Gras 10+, tekeningen: Koen Aelterman). Kinderboekrecensenten Jaap Friso (JaapLeest.nl) en Bas Maliepaard (Trouw) gaan met Schutten in gesprek over zijn aanpak, de noodzaak van dit boek in deze tijd, over lezers opvoeden, de vraag of complotdenkers dom zijn en waarom we eigenlijk allemaal een beetje complotdenkertjes zijn. Illustrator Koen Aelterman licht in een kort audiobericht zijn tekenstijl in het boek toe. Verwijzingen in deze aflevering Ander werk Jan Paul Schutten noemt een aantal van zijn andere boeken, zoals het prentenboek 'Ludas en Bontje' (Gottmer 4+, tekeningen: Sanne te Loo), 'Schaam je gerust dood voor je ouders' (Gottmer 10+, tekeningen: Emma Ringelding) en zijn Raadsel van alles wat leeft-trilogie (Gottmer 10+, tekeningen: Floor Rieder) Kennedy Viroloog Marion Koopmans en onderzoeksjournalist Alexander Beunder vertelden in Bureau Buitenland over de Amerikaanse minister van Volksgezondheid Robbert Kennedy.

,Ik ben gestoken.' Op een rustige avond klinken plots luide gillen over de galerij van een flat. Het geluid draagt ver over de woonwijk. “Even later arriveerden vijf ambulances, tien politieauto's en een traumahelikopter”, vertelt verslaggever Wietske Koen in een nieuwe aflevering van onze misdaadpodcast Radio Ramkraak.

Sasha (39) sterft op de zesde verdieping van de gele Furmerusflat in Sneek, nadat ze is neergestoken. Een 31-jarige benedenbuurman en een 32-jarige bovenbuurvrouw zijn aangehouden. “De man was de vriend van het slachtoffer”, zegt Wietske. De drie hoofdrolspelers waren onderdeel van een vriendengroep. “Als ze gedronken hadden haalden ze niet bepaald het beste in elkaar naar boven.” Lees hier het verhaal van Wietske Koen bij Leeuwarder Courant of Dagblad van het Noorden. Wat deze zaak extra schrijnend maakt, is dat hulpinstanties al betrokken waren. „Sascha was in beeld bij het sociaal wijkteam en Veilig Thuis,” vertelt Koen. “Ook de woningbouwvereniging had hen al gewaarschuwd.” Op de fatale avond ontstaat ruzie tussen het latere slachtoffer en de bovenbuurvrouw. Sasha gaat gewapend met een mes verhaalhalen op de zesde verdieping. In de worsteling die daarna ontstaat wordt het mes, dat Sascha zelf heeft meegenomen, haar fataal. „Of ze haar daadwerkelijk heeft willen steken, dat weten we natuurlijk niet,” zegt Wietske. „Maar je neemt wel een mes mee naar iemand toe.” De nasleep wordt door buurtbewoners omschreven als verschrikkelijk. “Opeens zijn er kindjes zonder moeder en een kindje met een moeder in de gevangenis,” verzucht presentator Jeroen Kelderman. Sasha was moeder van twee dochters en zes weken zwanger van een derde kindje. De 32-jarige vrouw die verdacht wordt van de fatale steekpartij is ook moeder. Zij heeft een jong zoontje. “Hij is die avond werd hij meteen opgehaald door zijn vader”, weet Wietske. De vrouw zit nog vast, haar voorarrest is afgelopen woensdag met 90 dagen verlengd. De 31-jarige vriend van het slachtoffer is inmiddels op vrije voeten, maar nog wel verdachte in de zaak.

Ichsani Wheeler, co-founder of OpenGeoHub and Envirometrix,  challenges dominant assumptions in land use and agricultural design, making the case for more large animals in our landscapes—not fewer. She explains why understanding the maximum ecological carrying capacity of agro-ecological systems is essential for restoring function, productivity, and resilience in both natural and farmed environments. Wheeler advocates for granular, place-based research to better inform ecological planning, arguing that broad generalizations fall short when it comes to the complex realities of nutrient cycling and biomass distribution. Megafauna plays a critical role in ecosystems as mobile nutrient cyclers, creating disturbances that stimulate plant growth and biodiversity. Without these interactions, ecosystems become shadows of what they could be – efficient, resilient, and abundantly productive as animals' absence leads often to stagnation and imbalance.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/ichsani-wheeler.This episode is part of the Role of Animals in food and agriculture systems of the future series, supported and co-produced by the Datamars Sustainability Foundation.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to te 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.

Wat zijn de belangrijkste voorwaarden om goed te presteren? Welke keuzes kunnen we maken wat betreft voeding en slaap? Wat zegt het gevoel, wat zeggen de data? Inspanningsfysioloog Koen de Haan vertaalt voor De Pacer de lessen van de topsport naar de breedtesport. Hoeveel gram koolhydraten kan het lichaam opnemen per uur, naar hoeveel zou je moeten streven bij de verschillende type inspanningen, en hoe train je die inname vervolgens? Aan welke knoppen kun je draaien om toch lekker te slapen een dag voor je belangrijke wedstrijd? En hoe erg is het eigenlijk om wakker te liggen? Koen de Haan werkte voor wielerploeg Sunweb, leidt triatleten en zwemmers naar succes en is intensief betrokken bij de Nederlandse roeibond. Hij vertelt over de belangrijkste keuzes die werden gemaakt in aanloop naar de gouden Olympische Spelen van de roeiers in Parijs. Niet de concurrentie, maar ziek worden of geblesseerd raken werd als grootste risico beschouwd. Maar hoe bewaak je die gezondheid? Koen de Haan probeert weg te blijven bij de hypes en schetst de belangrijkste nieuwste wetenschappelijke inzichten binnen de (top)sport.

A conversation with Béla Hatvany, pioneering entrepreneur in the automation of libraries and the information industry, born in 1938, turned into angel investor and philanthropist, on his journey, what's enough, the role of AI and EI (empathetic intelligence), and the potential of precision fermentation.Growing up during WWII with bombs literally blowing through his window, Bela's early anger about the state of the world transformed into action after a pivotal moment of self-reflection. This led him to create businesses with what he calls "six bottom lines" - serving employees, investors, suppliers, clients, communities, and Earth in balance. His approach included substantial employee ownership and prioritizing collective happiness over personal gain. Throughout, he emphasizes that "collaboration creates superabundance while competition creates artificial scarcity."More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/bela-hatvany.==========================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.

Annelie de Korte behaalde met DVO/Transus afgelopen seizoen de play-offs. Helaas viel ze in het eerste play-off duel na een ongelukkige beweging uit met een ogenschijnlijk zware knieblessure. Onderzoek wees later uit dat Annelie inderdaad haar voorste kruisband had afgescheurd: een horrorblessure voor elke topsporter. Inmiddels is ze geopereerd en werkt ze hard aan haar herstel. Haar ervaringen hiermee deelt ze openhartig op Instagram en TikTok. Annelie speelt bij DVO samen met haar vriend Koen van Roekel, met wie ze deze zomer gaat trouwen. Verder maakt ze ook deel uit van TeamNL Korfbal, al is het volgende eindtoernooi (de World Games van 7 t/m 17 augustus in Chengdu, China) door haar blessure helaas niet haalbaar. Ze zal dan ook nog even moeten wachten op haar eerste eindtoernooi als speelster van TeamNL Korfbal. We gingen er met haar over in gesprek. Presentatie: Robert Denneman Foto: Jeroen van den Berg

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...

A conversation with Anthony James, host of The RegenNarration podcast, a Prime Ministerial award winner for service to the international community and Honorary Research Fellow at UWA. He has had many legends at his microphone and joins us to share what he's learned, what he sees, and what he thinks is coming next in regenerative food and agriculture.The pioneers who spent decades developing innovative approaches to land stewardship won't be around forever, but they're actively passing their hard-earned wisdom to a new generation eager to accelerate positive change. Anthony shares how his own journey from business student to regeneration advocate parallels the transformative experiences many have when connecting deeply with the land.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/anthony-james.==========================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.

Het is uitkijken geblazen met de Amerikaanse rente. De die loopt hard op, omdat de financiële markten niet veel zien in het Amerikaanse belastingplan. "Het verlies van 'Liberation Day' is ingelopen", zegt Koen Bender van Mercurius Vermogensbeheer. "Het positieve wat je erover kan zeggen is dat die oplopende rente Trump weer in het gareel kan duwen", aldus Koen. Ook Marc Langeveld van Econopolis hoopt dat de obligatiemarkt Trump bij zinnen zal brengen. "Maar het belastingplan zal het begrotingstekort sterk doen oplopen. Niet voor niets heeft Moody's de kredietstatus van Amerika verlaagd. De markt leeft tussen angst en vrees. Het kan zijn dat de wispelturigheid van Trump de economie en de bedrijfsresultaten in de tweede helft van het jaar echt zal raken." Over Aegon zijn beide experts ook niet echt te spreken. "Aegon verbrandt al 25 jaar geld", is het oordeel van Koen naar aanleiding van de kwartaalcijfers. Marc is het daarmee eens en zet zijn geld dan liever in op NN Group of ASR. Verder in de podcast aandacht voor Nvidia, Xiaomi, CATL en de cijfers van o.a. Home Depot en Baidu. Natuurlijk bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tip.

A conversation with Austin Unruh, founder of Trees for Graziers, about the investment case for silvopasture. What if we could plant hundreds of millions of trees on degraded, low-value pasture land and make money from it? What if we planted trees that are beneficial for livestock—ruminants, pigs, and poultry? The market for meat and animal products is fairly stable (unless we get a massive breakthrough in precision fermentation soon, but that's hard to predict). Trees can dramatically lower costs and increase production.Austin argues that this is the best entry point to get many more trees into the landscape. When chosen well, these trees provide shade (a basic need), but more importantly, they offer feed during the most difficult periods of the year—like high summer, or specific fruits that drop in the autumn, full of sugar and energy, just as cows prepare for the colder winter months. Especially with pasture-raised pigs and poultry, you can save massively on expensive (organic) feed, which is mostly grain. And as a bonus, pastures grow better with partial shade.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/austin-unruh.==========================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 Philip Kauders, CEO and co-founder of Courageous Land, working on reforesting landscapes via large-scale biodiverse agroforestry. We can invest hundreds of millions into regenerative agroforestry, maybe even billions. No, we don't need new regulations or new technology (drones that prune, for example— sure, they'll help, and they'll come, but they're not essential). According to Philip the puzzle pieces for making large scale multi strata agroforestry systems are there. The place: Brazil. The land: the former rainforest which is currently bare or maybe grazed a bit, so underperforming financially and ecologically ecosystems.  The knowledge is there because of 10000 years of agroforestry experience- the Amazon is a managed agroforestry system-, the financial system is ready because agroforestry is a thing in Brazil. Companies are sourcing products from these systems, bankers are investing, and large-scale projects are already on the ground.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/philip-kauders.==========================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 Paul McMahon, co-founder SLM partners, about forestry being the gateway drug for natural capital for institutional investors to put money to work. Why? Because they are used to investing in forestry — it is a well-established investment sector with very long-time horizons. Rotations here are 30+ years, but it's also one with many challenges: current practices usually mean cutting down a forest after 30 years and completely replanting it. That basically scars a landscape for life — mostly monocultures.Interestingly, alternatives have been popping up over the last few decades. Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF), where you selectively harvest and let natural processes do most of the work, requires highly skilled foresters, but it can deliver superior returns alongside all the environmental benefits. These are production forests you want to be in — and forest bathe in. Now that a lot of academic research is emerging about carbon levels, returns, etc., the time might be right for more money to flow into it.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/paul-mcmahon-4.==========================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 James Arthur Smith, founder of Seatopia, about their data-driven focus on nutrient density (plus mercury/microplastics testing) resonates more strongly than abstract “sustainability” marketing strategy and it ultimately driving real ecosystem restoration. We explore how Seatopia defines regenerative aquaculture in a multi- trophic system—integrating finfish alongside shellfish and seaweeds, how they measure and quantify our impact at every step and how they partner with artisan milling companies developing species-appropriate feeds that eliminate fishmeal, soy, corn, and canola oil—pivoting toward insect protein and algae-based oils.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/james-arthur-smith-2.==========================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 Mike Velings, co-founder of Aqua-Spark, a global investment fund for sustainable aquaculture, about how an invite he should have never received lead to the creation of the largest aquaculture fund in history, with over $500 million in assets under management (AUM) and ambitious plans to grow to $2 billion or more. This conversation goes beyond the billion dollar question—it's already been answered. We explore why focusing on long- term investments is essential for transforming an industry and why current venture capital and private equity fund models might cause more harm than good. How can we bring institutional investors into agriculture and food, and what financial mechanisms can facilitate this? We also dive into the key drivers in aquaculture and discover why Mike is so enthusiastic about the future.This episode is special—it's not every day we discuss billions and institutional investment strategies with someone who has a real chance to raise the funds and put them to work.DISCLAIMER: This conversation was recorded on Nov 21st, 2024. A month later Aqua-Spark learned about a fraud in the numbers of eFishery, an Aqua-Tech startup they have invested in. After a thoughtfully evaluation, we decided that- regardless of the news around eFishery and the effect that has had on Aqua-Spark as a fund- the story of Aqua Spark is extremely relevant and interesting to anyone working in food, agriculture, aquaculture, and for that matter, impact investing. It should be shared and heard. Excluding eFishery, Aqua-Spark has a strong portfolio, and their journey towards disrupting a whole industry with an evergreen fund and attracting institutional capital is worth putting a spotlight on. More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/mike-velings.==========================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.

Good Treasure In Your Heart | Pastor Drew Koen | February 9, 2025

What does it mean to nurture good relationships through regenerative education in these times we live in?In this episode, I speak with the authors of the soon-to-be-published book, The Art of Regenerative Educatorship.Bas is an associate professor in regenerative leadership at the Mission Zero Centre of Expertise at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, where he also serves on the management team of the Master's in Sustainability Transitions. He lives in Dordrecht with his partner, writes novels, and is an avid gamer.Mieke is an associate professor in Regenerative Education and Development at the University of Amsterdam, where she works within the international development studies programme and the Governance and Inclusive Development research group. She lives in Amsterdam with her partner and twins and is a committed Reiki practitioner and yoga teacher, engaged with the Reiki Regenerative Resource Development Community in The Hague.Koen works as a regenerative educator at the University of Amsterdam. He teaches change-making within the Computational Social Sciences programme and supports interdisciplinary educators. He lives in Utrecht with his partner and dog, and draws deep inspiration from his intercultural connection with Turkey.We discuss:

A conversation with Herb Young, farmer who, after 36 years in the chemical industry working for Bayer, retired and bought a small farm in Georgia—where things quickly got out of hand. While researching organic premiums, Herb came across regenerative agriculture—and fell deep, very deep, down the rabbit hole. For over a year, he read everything, listened to everything, and then planted his first trees. A few years later, Herb is now one of the leading regenerative citrus growers in the country, conducting cutting-edge research while selling his first harvest directly to consumers in over 36 states. And the most surprising part? His citrus is, on average, eight times more nutrient- dense than conventionally grown oranges. That means you'd have to eat eight regular oranges to match the nutrients of just one of his. Suddenly, the idea of food as medicine becomes very affordable. And, of course, his citrus is incredibly tasty. We also discuss his history in the agrochemical industry, what his former colleagues think of his new "hobby" and what excites him most about the upcoming second season.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/herb-young.==========================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.

"Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog hebben we maar twee of drie keer dit soort heftige bewegingen op de beurs meegemaakt", legt Han Dieperink van Aureus Vermogensbeheer uit. "Dat is ook niet gek, want er is wel wat aan de hand. Een technische recessie lijkt voor de hand te liggen." Han is niet zo beducht voor de toekomst, al zijn er voor de VS wel structurele minpunten bijgekomen. Koen Bender van Mercurius Vermogensbeheer constateert dat voor de komende tijd de brand is geblust, maar met Trump aan het roer bestaat de kans dat het handelsgeweld weer oplaait. "En als ik kijk naar de sterk opgelopen Amerikaanse rente, dan heb ik wel het idee dat we op het randje van een meltdown zaten." Veel beleggers vragen zich af wat ze in deze hectische tijden moeten doen. Beide experts zijn daarover eensgezind: houd je hoofd koel. Koen blijft goed gespreid beleggen zoals hij dat vóór de handelsoorlog deed. Hoofdzakelijk in aandelen overigens, en ook voor Han blijven aandelen de favoriete beleggingscategorie. Verder bespreken we in de podcast onder andere de update van Fagron en de mogelijke samenwerking tussen TSMC en Intel. Uiteraard komen de luisteraarsvragen aan bod en geven de experts hun tips. Koen houdt het bij een algemeen advies voor beleggers in roerige tijden, Han tipt een Chinese multinational. Geniet van de podcast! Let op: alleen het eerste deel is vrij te beluisteren. Wil je de hele podcast (luisteraarsvragen en tips) horen, wordt dan Premium lid van BeursTalk. Dat kost slechts 9,95 per maand, 99 euro voor een heel jaar. Abonneren kan hier! VanEck ETF’s (advertorial) Deze week is ook weer het tweewekelijks gesprek met Martijn Rozemuller, ceo van VanEckETF’s, de partner van BeursTalk. Met Martijn bespreek ik niet gevaren van het beleggen zelf, maar over fraudeurs die zich voordoen als beursexperts of zelfs een nep-website van VanEck hebben opgetuigd. De laatste tijd verschijnen er veel nepberichten op Facebook en Instagram, bijvoorbeeld van "Warren Buffett" of "Corné van Zeijl". Niets is minder waar, het gaat om oplichters die beleggers oproepen om geld over te maken of illiquide aandelen te kopen. VanEck heeft er ook mee te maken gehad in Duitsland en Frankrijk en Martijn legt uit dat het nog een hele klus is om de fraudeurs aan te pakken. Dat is wel belangrijk, want wie door fraudeurs wordt opgelicht heeft nauwelijks verhaalsmogelijkheden. Je bent je geld echt kwijt. Beleggers moeten tegenwoordig dus heel alerts zijn. Hoe ontdek je of je met fraude te maken hebt? Martijn geeft een aantal aanwijzingen waar je op moet letten, de zogenaamde red flags. Blijf dus luisteren tot na de disclaimer. Geniet van de podcast!

A check- in conversation with Ethan Soloviev, Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, about how regenerative agriculture is truly taking off, its position within large food and agriculture companies, and whether we risk watering it down or falling into greenwashing (Spoiler: Surprisingly, we're doing a lot about it!). We also get an update on HowGood—they're doing well and focusing more on nutrient density-, plus, we talk about Regen House, which is revolutionizing the way good food fosters meaningful conversations at major events like COPs, climate summits, and Davos, bringing farmers, indigenous community members, and global executives together around regenerative food experiences. By centering conversations on actual good food rather than panels and PowerPoints, these gatherings forge authentic connections that move regeneration forward. And, of course, no conversation with Ethan would be complete without diving into AI—what currently does and what it could do for regeneration—not just through efficiency gains, but through innovative applications like predicting deforestation before it happens. The real breakthrough will come when we develop "large ecological models" trained on nature's patterns rather than just human texts, enabling truly regenerative landscape design.As Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, Ethan offers a glimpse into how sustainability data is transforming food systems. Their database tracks environmental and social impacts for 33,000 ingredients and nearly 4 million products globally, enabling everything from carbon footprinting to supplier engagement. What's particularly encouraging is how this data influences consumer behavior—when sustainability information is presented clearly at the point of purchase, sales of sustainable products consistently increase across diverse markets.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/ethan-soloviev-4.==========================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 Louis De Jaeger, international keynote speaker, author, award-winning filmmaker, and landscape designer, about dreams, action, and storytelling—how to reach and touch people. We discuss why storytelling is highly underrated and underfunded, and why he is organizing a festival—not the next Burning Man, but a regeneration festival.He shares his excitement about small water cycle restoration, the biotic pump, and much more. And in the end, it all boils down to one simple message: Eat More Trees.During his 5-year sabbatical that turned into a lifelong mission to regenerate landscapes, Louis' revelation came during world travels where he witnessed environmental degradation firsthand—monoculture landscapes so depressing "you want to drive against a tree, but there are no trees." This observation sparked his mission to regenerate 550 million hectares of land globally, potentially cooling our planet by two degrees Celsius.Beyond the environmental benefits, Louis paints a compelling vision of a regenerative future characterized by abundance rather than sacrifice. "We're going to have an even more luxurious lifestyle, we're going to have better food that tastes fantastic" he assures us. His approach isn't about shaming people into environmentalism but showing how regenerative practices create healthier, more desirable lives.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/louis-de-jaeger.==========================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.

In 1994, Fuse opened its doors on the Rue Blaes in downtown Brussels. From early on, this nightclub attracted Detroit techno pioneers Carl Craig, Jeff Mills, and Juan Atkins and cutting-edge French innovators like Laurent Garnier and Daft Punk. Over time, Fuse became one of the most important clubs on the European techno scene and, to celebrate its 30th birthday last year, Koen Galle published Fuse: 30yrs Of Making Noise (AfterClub, 2024). In this recording of a live event, Galle talks to Simon Taylor about the glory days of Fuse and what has made it one of the longest-surviving clubs in Europe – outlasting and predating more famous venues like Trezor and Bergheim in Berlin.

A conversation with Laimonas Noreika, founder of HeavyFinance, about providing loans to farmers, bringing innovation to the traditionally stagnant agri-loan sector (some numbers: over €70M loaned to farmers and over 13,000 individual investors have invested through them). The profitability of regenerative agriculture isn't just a theory—it's backed by hard data from hundreds of thousands of hectares across Eastern Europe. According to Laimonas, the financial case for regenerative farming methods is compelling, showing roughly 20% higher profits compared to conventional approaches, even without factoring in potential carbon credit revenue.Traditional banking institutions have created a €60 billion annual financing gap for small and medium-sized European farms, which means we need institutional investors. Some, like the European Investment Fund, have invested through HeavyFinance. And why aren't banks stepping in? Because small farmers don't fit their criteria well. So, we need new fintech solutions and scale. Despite agriculture presenting lower default risks than many other industries, banks avoid these loans because of regulatory requirements that penalize them when farmers experience seasonal payment delays. This financing gap has slowed the transition to more sustainable and profitable farming methods, particularly in Eastern Europe's breadbasket regions where soil organic carbon levels have plummeted from approximately 150 tons per hectare historically to just 30 tons today.HeavyFinance bridges this gap with an innovative approach: providing interest-free loans to farmers transitioning to regenerative practices, particularly for purchasing no-till seeders and implementing cover cropping systems. Instead of charging interest, they take a percentage of future carbon credits generated by improved farming practices. This creates a powerful incentive system where farmers access needed capital without interest payments while simultaneously improving soil health, reducing input costs, and increasing crop resilience.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/laimonas-noreika.==========================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 Kiira Heymann, Director of Strategic Partnerships at the Non-GMO Project and the Food Integrity Collective. After the success of the Non-GMO Project in the U.S., which is now featured on almost 63,000 products, the team is launching the Non-Ultra-Processed Food verification. In this conversation, we discuss why—why introduce another label? And why is it so important for the food sector to focus on increasing consumers' capacity to demand more from their food system, rather than just adding another label?This isn't just another label—it's a carefully considered intervention designed to reconnect people with their food in profound ways. When 70% of American store shelves hold ultra-processed products engineered with ingredients banned in other countries, the stakes couldn't be higher. What makes this effort particularly fascinating is how it challenges the very foundation of food certification itself. Rather than creating another "shortcut to trust", the team is exploring how to eliminate the need for certifications entirely by rebuilding true transparency in our food system. Their research shows 81% of North Americans are concerned about questionable ingredients in their food, yet only 17% feel knowledgeable about the topic—a gap this initiative aims to close.Beyond ingredients, this movement addresses the cognitive impact of ultra-processed foods. Studies show these products can significantly impair brain function in as little as 30 days, creating a troubling cycle where the very foods engineered to be addictive are simultaneously diminishing our capacity to make better choices. By helping consumers understand and avoid ultra-processed foods, the certification offers a pathway toward better physical and mental wellbeing.Currently in its pilot phase with 20 pioneering brands, the non-UPFs verification program aims to launch products by fall 2025. The certification represents more than just another shopping guide—it's an invitation to experience the profound difference real food makes in how we feel, think, and connect with our world.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/kiira-heymann.==========================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 the world of intensive—or super-intensive—tree crops, particularly olives and almonds with Dimitri Tsitos, co-founder of Agrosystemic, the Regenerative Agroforestry Podcast, the Arbo-Innova project and Mazi Farm. In Portugal, the sector is booming—highly profitable yet highly destructive—due to its high- input, high-output nature, with heavy reliance on fertilizers and chemicals.This raises the question: can there be another way? That's exactly what Dimitri and his team have been researching over the past few years—on real farms, running large-scale regenerative plots alongside conventional ones. The bad news? It's not easy. It demands a systematic shift in machinery, protocols, and inputs. But the good news is the results are extremely promising: much higher quality olive oil, only a slight drop in production, significantly better price points, lower costs from day one, and biodiversity that bounces back remarkably fast.It's a booming industry that, like CAFO factory farms for animal protein, is reaching its limits in terms of public acceptance, climate risks, biodiversity loss, quality concerns, and rising input costs. But don't despair—this is a hopeful discussion. There's plenty of low-hanging fruit (pun intended) ready to be rolled out quickly, following an initial phase of research and development.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/dimitri-tsitos.==========================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.
