De zomervakantie is begonnen, voor alle regio's. Maar is zes weken vaste zomervakantie wel wenselijk? Ongeveer 25 scholen doen mee aan een proef met flexibele vakanties. Met die proef kunnen kinderen bijvoorbeeld zeven dagen in het jaar vrij krijgen zonder die te hoeven inhalen, omdat de school niet aan studiedagen doet. Een andere optie is: tien vakantiedagen plannen buiten de zomer plannen, om ze in de zomervakantie in te halen. Wordt deze manier van flexibele schoolvakanties het nieuwe normaal?   Een gesprek met Jan Willem Goedhart, directeur van de Helcherseeschool in Scharendijke, met Loes Voogsgeerd, locatiemanager van Basisschool La Res in Enschede, met Mare van Hooijdonk, zij was leerkracht en is nu onderzoeker en docent bij de academische lerarenopleiding van de Radboud Universiteit en met Koen van der Ven, hij is onderzoeker bij SEO Economisch Onderzoek. Hij onderzoekt voor het ministerie van onderwijs scholen die experimenteren met dit soort flexibele vakanties.

João Valente, owner of Monte Silveira, took over his family farm in central-eastern Portugal that was running on tobacco, broccoli, and melons with sixty-five people employed year-round, the rotation designed entirely around subsidies. When the tobacco subsidy disappeared at the end of the 1990s, he found himself with a question: what does this land actually want to be? That question led him to organic agriculture conferences in Portugal, to a magazine showing no-till, to a German seed company that flew him to New Zealand and Australia to see holistic planned grazing in action, and eventually to the first Climate Farmers Congress in a castle in Germany, back in 2021, where he helped write the manifesto, brought ham, wine, and olive oil, and met much of the regenerative agriculture network he's been working with ever since. Today, Monte Silveira manages around 700 hectares of Montado and irrigated annual crops, runs five species of animals, carries sixteen active research projects, has three full-time scientists on staff, and has been no-till since the year 2000.One plus one, in companion cropping, is not two. It might be three, four, or five: two or three species in the same field, each supporting the others, the vetch fixing nitrogen for the wheat, the wheat stem holding up the climbing vetch, and if one fails the other covers it. João has been doing this long enough now that the yield comparisons with neighbouring monoculture fields aren't theoretical. And after decades of absorbing the risk alone, he's at a point where he can start handing the knowledge on, to neighbouring farmers who are curious but can't afford to fail, to the Portuguese government, which recently invited Monte Silveira to one of only three private companies at the table for the country's seven-year environmental strategy document, and to consumers through brands, built on cereals and legumes priced to compete with conventional supermarket products, not just to sell to those who can already afford the premium.In this episode, recorded under the shade of an old farm building during a May heat wave in the Portugal, too hot by then to keep walking the Montado, we get into how a tobacco subsidy became the turning point of a farming life, why João thinks the two groups most drawn to regenerative research are newly graduated scientists and recently retired professors (and almost nobody in between), what it takes to bring the most important conventional almond consultant in Portugal from sceptic to practitioner in under a year, why he would mandate no-till for all dry-land cereal producers in Portugal if he had the legislative pen, what he'd do with a billion euros, and why, given a magic wand, he'd change human ego before he'd change a single farming practice.More about this episode.Thoughts?

Diogo Pinho started his scientific career in the first DNA sequencing lab in Portugal, then did a hands-on PhD on the soil microbiome of cork and holm oak, studying why the trees get sick, before spending two years with Biome Makers, a soil microbiome analysis company, running labs and translating bacterial and fungal profiles into colour-coded, farmer-readable reports for growers around the world. Three years ago, a chance conversation at a farm visit twenty minutes from where he was living led him to Monte Silveira, a 700-hectare farm in the Alentejo, where farmer Joao Valente had been testing regenerative practices for years. Diogo came on board as head of research, hired two more scientists, and is now coordinating fifteen different research consortia — universities, policy makers, and environmental associations — all running in parallel on one working farm.Portugal produces 70% of the world's cork. And every year, the Montado, the vast savanna-like silvopasture system of cork and holm oaks that makes that possible, and that once covered much of the Mediterranean, is losing between 4,000 and 5,000 hectares. Not to disease, exactly: the disease is just the final hit on a tree already too weak to resist. The underlying cause, Diogo says, is simpler and more fixable than most people realise. The Montado is a system built by human management, and the one thing it was always managed with — grazing animals cycling nutrients back into the soil — has quietly been removed. Bring the animals back, do it well, and the trees can recover.In this episode — recorded walking the Monte Silveira land on a mild May morning, with horses and sheep audible throughout — we get into how Diogo went from genome sequencing to working on a regenerative farm, why he sees the Montado's decline as a chronic disease rather than a single crisis, how soil organic matter went from 1% to 3% in seven years without importing fertility, what a clover carpet growing underneath intensive almond trees is doing to herbicide use and nitrogen budgets (and why the 8,000-hectare conventional industry next door is already paying attention), and how a transition finance programme for twenty neighbouring livestock farmers is quietly building a model that could scale well beyond one farm.More about this episode.Thoughts?

From ultras to oligarchs: as the World Cup in North America kicks off, we explore the politics of football. How the game is used and abused as a tool of power and prestige, but also functions as a stage for resistance and representation.Football and politics go hand in hand. That became clear once again this past year when FIFA presented a ‘Peace Prize' to U.S. President Donald Trump for his ‘exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace': corruption captured in a single image.But football is not just the billion-dollar business of oligarchs and sheikhs. The politics of football can also be seen in the demonstrations against Turkish President Erdoğan led by supporters of Beşiktaş J.K., the role of Cairo hooligans from Al Ahly SC during the Arab Spring or in the Irish national football team as symbol of Irish independence. During this programme, we explore the football pitch as a stage for resistance and representation. How do governments use the game to project power and prestige? Where do players, fans, and activists push back, and how does football relate to anti-colonial struggles past and present? What does the World Cup reveal about the relationship between sport, nation states, and resistance today? With Award winning journalist on football, culture and politics James Montague, Assistant professor Italian, history, literature and football at UvA Elio Baldi and author Abdelkader Benali.Programme editor: Senna FeliusModerator: Koen SnijdersZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Onlangs was ik te gast in Runners' Café, de podcast van Koen Wilssens en Tom Schippers van Runners' Lab.We gingen in gesprek over de mentale kant van presteren: waarom talent alleen niet volstaat, hoe je zelfvertrouwen opbouwt, hoe je omgaat met druk, teleurstelling en blessures, en waarom de weg naar een doel vaak belangrijker is dan het doel zelf. Ook de rol van coaches en leiderschap kwam uitgebreid aan bod, net als mijn eigen weg als 800-meterloper richting de Olympische Spelen en hoe die ervaringen vandaag mijn werk als sportpsycholoog blijven kleuren.Daarnaast hadden we het over hoop als motor om te blijven groeien, waarom succes zelden een perfect uitgestippeld plan volgt en welke lessen de topsport ons kan leren over ondernemen, leidinggeven en het leven.Ben je gebeten door atletiek? Dan is Runners' Café een absolute aanrader. Koen en Tom brengen al jarenlang boeiende gesprekken met atleten, coaches en mensen achter de schermen van onze sport.En wie graag nog wat verder teruggaat in de geschiedenis van Runners' Lab: oprichter Jempi Wilssens was eerder al te gast in aflevering 50 van De Sofa van Nathan Kahan.

Koen (33) zit regelmatig op de blaren door eerdere keuzes die hij vol overtuiging maakte. Zo wilde hij tijdens een veiligheidstraining laten zien hoe het níet moest, waarna hij beide ellebogen scheurde. Hij wilde zijn psychotische buurman helpen, maar nu is hij onveilig in zijn eigen huis. Waarom gebeurt het steeds weer?Let op: in deze aflevering komt verslaving en middelengebruik ter sprake.

Lara Espírito Santo grew up shuttling between Rio de Janeiro and her father's industrial farms in Paraguay and Brazil, traded a planned career in politics and international development for a kitchen job at Silo in London, and went on to co-found SEM, the zero-food-waste restaurant in Lisbon she ran with her partner George McLeod until closing it ten days before this conversation (not for financial reasons, but to figure out what comes next).Source the cream instead of buying butter, and one ingredient quietly becomes four: butter, buttermilk, then whey and cheese once you split the buttermilk again. That unglamorous bit of dairy chemistry is the mechanic behind Lara's central claim: you don't get to zero food waste by managing waste better. You get there by going further back up the supply chain than most kitchens ever bother to look, and only then does the creativity actually start.In this episode, recorded in Lisbon, we get into how watching the birds disappear from her father's 20,000-hectare farm pushed her toward activism and then back into restaurants, why SEM's food costs ran at 17%, against an industry standard of 25–30%, why she closed it anyway, the case for an EU-wide black market in regeneratively raised organ meat, oyster shells turned into dinner plates, and why she'd spend a hypothetical billion euros de-risking the years it takes a farm to convert.More about this episode.Thoughts?

Van de zes OML'ers van afgelopen seizoen zijn er nog twee in leven: Koen en Loraine. Wat veel mensen niet weten is dat er veel contact was onderling. Er werd vriendschap gesloten ondanks dat ze niet lang meer te leven hadden. Hoe was dat? Hoe beleef je de uitvaarten? En wat heb je aan vriendschap met lotgenoten? 

Hoewel de chippers het moeilijk hadden de afgelopen dagen, wist Micron Technology te profiteren van uitstekende cijfers. "Bizar goed", verklaart Olaf van den Heuvel van Achmea Investment Management. "Dat je het 20 procent beter doet dan de analistenverwachting en ook nog eens tegen enorme marges, dat is echt wel spectaculair." Olaf vraagt zich wel af hoelang dit door kan gaan, want Apple moet nu z'n prijzen verhogen, omdat chips steeds duurder worden. Ook Koen Bender van Mercurius Vermogensbeheer is zeer positief. "Een verviervoudiging van de omzet, vooruitbetalingen van klanten wat voor een ijzersterke balans zorgt. Dat maakt investeren ook makkelijker." Deze cijfers geven volgens Koen wel dat je als belegger het niet kunt veroorloven om niet in deze sector te zitten. De techniek wordt steeds ingewikkelder en de vraag neemt alleen maar toe. De koers-winstverhouding ligt nu op 54, de toekomst zal uitwijzen of dat gerechtvaardigd is. Over het sentiment zijn beide experts wat voorzichtiger. Koen denkt dat we nog niet af zijn van de schommelingen die we de laatste weken zien. Wel is het zo dat het geopolitiek wat rustiger lijkt te worden, denkt Olaf. Tegelijkertijd zien ze dat de inflatiedruk van olie afneemt, maar die van chips weer lijkt toe te nemen. Kortom, het blijft oppassen geblazen. Verder in de podcast aandacht voor de cijfers van onder andere Fedex, de soap rond de overname van OCI en de mogelijk nieuwe koers die Heineken gaat varen onder de nieuwe topman. Uiteraard bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tips. Voor Olaf is dat deze keer een Nederlands handelshuis, Koen gaat voor een Amerikaans voedingsconcern. Geniet van de podcast!

Brazilian-trained chemical engineer, Raiza Rezende left a career path lined up by petroleum, gas, and pharmaceutical companies to study syntropic agriculture with Ernst Götsch, then WWOOFed her way across Spain, Portugal, and Greece before co-founding two organisations working from opposite ends of the same problem: Agrosystemic, which helps large farms in Portugal and Brazil transition toward regenerative practices, and RHEA, the Regenerative Healthcare European Association, which is trying to prove — with hard data — that healthy soil produces healthier people.Pull one carrot out of the ground and test it, and the number on the lab report tells you almost nothing. Is its vitamin A content high or low? Compared to what? That's the problem sitting underneath the entire “nutrient density” conversation, and it's the one Raiza keeps running into: without thousands of samples across farms, regions, and varieties, a single result is just a number with nowhere to stand.In this conversation recorded in a Lisbon park, with the podcast's producer Antonella Totaro taking over hosting duties for the first time, we get into Raiza's path from an oil-and-gas-sponsored engineering campus in Rio to the most desertified farmland in Portugal, why Agrosystemic refuses to tell conventional farmers they're doing it “wrong”, what four real farms and 40-plus measured parameters are starting to reveal about nutrient density, why €700 billion a year in EU disease treatment costs hasn't yet connected soil research to health research, and why, with a magic wand or a billion euros, she'd skip the technology and put the money straight into farmers.More about this episodeThoughts?

John Gilliland is a sixth-generation UK farmer and advocate for sustainable agriculture with a legacy in policy, academia, and innovation. As a leader of the ARC Zero project, his own farm is a model for "Beyond" Net Zero practices, where willow cultivation, livestock grazing, and renewable energy initiatives work together in a circular system.He has credits he could sell tomorrow and hasn't sold any. The reason cuts to the heart of the whole carbon market: on the voluntary market, he says, the same people who measure your soil also buy your credits. They are judge and jury in one. Until that changes, his clocks keep ticking and his carbon stays in the ground.We get into why his 250-year-old woodland — kept fenced off from animals for most of its life — has no earthworms, a soil pH of 4.8, and trees toppling in storms, while feeding willow leaves to his cattle has cut their methane by 28%. John walks us through the fertiliser crisis he thinks is bigger than the Ukraine war, the chicory root he uses instead of a diesel subsoiler, and a 36-hectare trial that lifted meat output 83% while cutting nitrogen 65%. More about this episode.This podcast is part of the Carbon Series supported by the OGCR project, with aims to create a trusted open source framework and make sure the benefits of carbon are shared across generations.Thoughts?

Europe doesn't have a water problem. The rain still falls; we've just spent a few hundred years engineering it off the land as fast as we can, which James Barrett likens to hauling your garden clippings to the dump only to drive back in spring and buy compost.James is a regenerative hydrology consultant, founder of Decent Water Company and lead regenerative designer for Ten Lives Festival in Portugal — where 150 people spent their mornings digging rock-lined "smiles" into a semi-arid, 70-hectare site that sees barely 400mm of rain a year. Sitting between two almond trees, he explains why he favours many small, low-risk interventions over one big dam, how those rock linings passively harvest daily fog and condensation much like the fog nets of Chile, and why transpiring trees hand a landscape a longer growing season and a few degrees of cooling. He also shows how LiDAR and AI let him read 70 hectares from a laptop, finding where water wants to pool before he lifts a shovel.This is a practical field lesson in keeping water higher in the landscape — and in why where you choose to dig decides whether soil, ecosystems and the economics all start to regenerate together.More about this episode.Thoughts?

The Midwest: 140 million acres of corn and soybeans, rural economies slowly dying, a system with no real long-term future in terms of soil or human health. It's also where roughly 25% of farmland could flip the entire region toward regeneration—but only if you coordinate capital the right way.Ivana Gazibara, Director of Systemic Investment Programmes at the TransCap Initiative, spent two years mapping the intervention points needed to drive systemic change across the agricultural heartland. She uncovered something unexpected: money isn't the problem. Coordination is. Venture capital, public funders, and philanthropists all allocate capital into regenerative agriculture—but almost never in the same room together, much less actively collaborating. The result? Capital that's supposed to be systemic lands as scattered bets.The solution: the Regenerative Agriculture Capital Orchestrator (RACO), a blueprint for deploying $1.4 billion in catalytic capital to attract $7.5 billion more, organized around four pillars—system intelligence platform, capital matchmaking, catalytic finance, and field building. This is systems change made concrete: what it costs per acre, how to move money at scale, what happens when you stop treating regeneration as a one-off problem and start treating it as a reshaping of incentives across lending, insurance, and investment. Because you can't finance a transition you haven't mapped, and you can't scale a transition money isn't deliberately coordinated to reach.More about this episode.Thoughts? Ideas? Questions?

Akzo Nobel was deze week met een stijging van bijna 27 procent met afstand de winnaar in de AEX. Het verfbedrijf wil fuseren met het Amerikaanse Axalta, maar er zijn meer kapers op de kust. Twee andere partijen hebben óók geboden op het bedrijf, maar dat wees het bestuur van de hand. "De druk ligt nu bij Akzo Nobel", zegt Koen Bender van Mercurius Vermogensbeheer. "Zij moeten nu op eigen kracht de koers zien te bereiken die de afgewezen partijen, Nippon Paint en Sherwin-Williams, hebben geboden." Of dat gaat lukken is maar helemaal de vraag. Een ander probleem is de beloning, zegt Wim Zwanenburg van Stroeve Lemberger. "In de deal die Akzo heeft met beoogd fusiepartner Axalta gaat de beloning van de Akzo-bestuurders fors omhoog. De VEB stelt daar terecht vragen over." Immers, beoordeelt Akzo het concurrerend bod wel serieus als Axalta een exorbitant hoog salaris biedt? Computerfabrikant Dell is wél in staat om zijn beurskoers zelfstandig flink op te krikken. De resultaten over het eerste kwartaal waren ronduit fantastisch. Het bedrijf draait op "alle cilinders', en dat gaf de koers een impuls van maar liefst 33 procent op vrijdag. Wall Street beleefde zijn beste maand sinds 2001. Verder in de podcast onder andere aandacht voor de cijfers van Snowflake, HP en Servicenow. Natuurlijk behandelen we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tips.

Daniel Vidal, head chef of Baldío, LATAM's first zero-waste restaurant, joined Koen in the kitchen in Mexico City to talk about what it actually takes to make radical food accessible to the people it was always meant for. When Baldío won a Green Michelin Star, Daniel didn't think to take his mother there for her birthday as the restaurant back then could win over critics but not his own community.Daniel walks through how Baldío rebuilt its menu from the ground up shifting from a Nordic-inflected à la carte that impressed visiting chefs to a tasting menu grounded in tamales, tacos, and corn in every single dish. He explains why familiarity is the gateway drug for getting locals to try ant eggs, grasshoppers, and beef treated with koji to mimic the texture Mexicans already know from corn-fed imports. Daniel unpacks the 60-ingredient mole built almost entirely from kitchen waste — banana peel tart trimmings, English sauce offcuts, insect protein — as both a culinary feat and a zero-waste accounting exercise.This is the third episode of a three conversations series recorded on location at Baldío, in Mexico City: farm, fermentation lab, kitchen. More about this episode.Thoughts?

As a child in Nairobi, Benedetta Kyengo spent holidays climbing trees and eating mangoes and papayas at her grandmother's food forest in eastern Kenya. Eight years later, every tree was gone, replaced by maize and beans, and her grandmother, who used to send food to the city, was depending on money sent from it. That reversal, from abundance to dependency in a single generation, is the wound this episode is about healing.Benedetta, founder of Feedback to the Future and a practitioner of syntropic agroforestry in Kenya's semi-arid east, bought five acres of severely degraded land in 2020 and spent the next four years turning it into a 100-species food forest. She describes how terrible droughts almost forced her to quit, why she teaches farmers to be "greedy with water", stealing runoff from neighbours' plots and slowing every drop into the soil, and how training hundreds of farmers across 300 acres has measurably changed local rainfall patterns. She also explains how she plans to make this food accessible not to wealthy Nairobi consumers, but to the slum communities she grew up in: by stripping input costs to near zero, saving indigenous seeds, and packaging in the small quantities the slum economy actually runs on. For anyone asking whether regenerative agriculture can work in brittle, semi-arid landscapes and at a price point that serves ordinary people, this episode is a field report from someone already doing it.More about this episode.Thoughts?

Fermentation is the oldest food technology on earth. It happens in our guts, in the soil, in every cup of coffee and most restaurants still throw the juiced lime away. At Baldío, Mexico City's zero-waste restaurant, Chris Locke has built an entire philosophy around that lime: a Korean-style raw syrup, a lacto-fermented powder for seasoning, a tapache, and finally a koji-based shoyu. Four products, zero waste, from something already used. In this conversation, recorded inside Baldío's production warehouse in Mexico City, Chris unpacks the three real drivers of fermentation — flavour, health, and waste reduction — and why most kitchens only chase one. He explains why the menu at Baldío functions like an ecosystem, where removing one dish breaks six others, why consistency is the wrong obsession for any restaurant working with small regenerative farms, and how 200 litres of surplus corn vinegar a week is pushing the project toward a retail product line. A UK chef who built his fermentation practice in Toronto and a circular innovation kitchen in Melbourne before arriving in Mexico City and waited four months for a job that didn't yet exist, Chris brings a rare cross-cultural precision to a practice most people still associate only with natural wine. Fermentation as a tool for closing loops, building shelf-stable products, and making the economics of zero-waste food actually work.More about this episode.Thoughts? Ideas? Questions?

Plumber Dunc has been working the phones and the hype is real: Jack Ward is the name everyone in Aussie cycling is talking about. In this Talent Tool Shed special, Jack breaks down his insane numbers, his rapid rise, and how he's handling the pressure of being labelled the next big thing. Trek legend Koen de Kort adds the inside intel — from data to development to what separates good riders from future weapons. Big laughs, big insights, big future.If this episode wasn't enough Detour for you, the good stuff lives at thedetour.online with deeper stories, race breakdowns, and the kind of cycling mayhem we can't fit into a clip.

An ancient farm system, built by hand on top of water, hidden inside one of the largest cities on earth and almost nobody knows it exists.The chinampas of Xochimilco are human-made islands, constructed over centuries in the lakes that Mexico City was built on. At their peak they fed an entire civilisation. Today, more than 60% are abandoned, the city is slowly swallowing the edges, and once a chinampero stops farming, another one rarely takes their place. Pablo Usobiaga from Arca Tierra is trying to reverse that not by fighting the city, but by bringing it in through a dining experience.This is part one of three episodes series recorded around Arca Tierra: Pablo Usobiaga built a restaurant — Baldío — around one idea: source everything from peasant farmers, waste nothing, and use fermentation to turn what would have been bin bags into the best things on the menu. It just became the first restaurant in Mexico City to earn a Green Michelin star. This conversation is where it starts: on the chinampas, where the food comes from. Parts two and three go deeper; into the fermentation lab with Chris (episode 423), and into the kitchen with Daniel (episode 425).More about this episode.Thoughts? Ideas? Questions?

When Janet Maro started building training programs with farmers in Tanzania, she didn't arrive with a curriculum. She asked farmers what they knew, what they needed, and what they could bring to the table — and built from there. That instinct, to treat farmers as the architects rather than the audience, turns out to explain most of what makes Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania unusual: why groups keep meeting and planning years after projects end, why an organic shop opened in Morogoro in 2012 has since seeded eight more across the country, and why a conflict between Maasai pastoralists and smallholder farmers that had turned violent was resolved not through outside intervention but through a simple exchange of manure and crop residues, negotiated by the communities themselves.Thoughts?

Mexico has thousands of bean varieties. Most people living in cities know four to five. Silke Gérman is on a mission to change that.She is the founder of La Comandanta, a premium heirloom bean and salsa brand now in its twelfth year of connecting smallholder milpa farmers in central Mexico to retail shelves in Mexico City, the US, the UK, and Germany. Ancient Mexican bean varieties — grown for millennia in the traditional milpa polyculture system alongside corn and squash — are disappearing from fields and plates at the same time. Silke's answer is neither a seed bank nor a subsidy. It's packaging, storytelling, and making a purple runner bean from Puebla feel like something worth paying for. Along the way, La Comandanta has brought income back to communities that were emptying out, kept ancestral seeds in living soil rather than frozen storage, and built a value chain that pays farmers fairly — one bag of heirloom beans at a time. More about this episode.Thoughts?

We get technical with Koen de Kort, Head of Innovation and Tech at Lidl-Trek. After 17 years racing at the highest level - 43 classics, 18 Grand Tours - Koen now sits on the other side of the sport, driving the technology that gives WorldTour riders their edge. We dig into his current projects, where the biggest performance gains are being found right now, how cycling tech has evolved from his days in the peloton, and what the future of race equipment, skin suits, aerodynamics and bikes looks like.

Gut & Bösel in Alt Madlitz, Brandenburg is one of the largest regenerative farms in Europe — 3,000 hectares of arable land and forestry on some of the sandiest, driest soils in Germany. For years, farmer Benedikt Bösel and his team have been experimenting with agroforestry, holistic grazing, and composting at scale, with no blueprint and no neighbours to learn from. That experimentation costs money, takes time, and generates knowledge that other farmers benefit from for free.So they set up a foundation next to the farm to do the research properly — 10,000 soil samples, four university partners, climate sensors across 300 hectares, and a carbon credit programme that is already generating revenue. Max Küsters, managing director at Gut & Bösel, talks with Koen about how regenerative farms can start turning their hard-won data and ecosystem restoration work into actual income streams — through carbon markets, biodiversity credits, and eventually the insurance industry, which is slowly waking up to the fact that healthy soil is cheaper than flood damage.This podcast is part of the AI 4 Soil Health project which aims to help farmers and policy makers by providing new tools powered by AI to monitor and predict soil health across Europe.

Sylvia Kuria started with a kitchen garden and a refusal to use chemicals on food for her newborn. Seventeen years later, she runs Sylvia's Basket, aggregates organic produce across Kenya, trains smallholder farmers on half-acre plots, and helped get agroecology written into county government development plans with real budget behind it. The journey from that first bottle of pesticides to a funded policy win is not a straight line — and the business realities along the way are rarely the ones that make the headlines.The question running through this conversation is deceptively simple: should farmers feed themselves first, before thinking about any market? Sylvia's answer, grounded in seventeen years of practice, has implications for how we think about food security, monocropping, market access, and who gets to sit at the table where decisions are made.More about this episode.Thoughts?

Argentina has just issued its first grazing-based carbon credits  and the story behind them is forty years in the making. Pablo Francisco Borrelli, co-founder of Ruuts, has spent the last decade building the infrastructure to get farmers in Patagonia and beyond paid for what their land is actually doing: sequestering carbon, retaining water, and growing more grass than anyone thought possible.The carbon credit is not the point. It is the door. Once a farmer steps through it and experiences what holistic management does for their land and their bottom line, the market can disappear and they won't go back. This is a grounded account of what it takes to turn forty years of agronomic pioneering into a verified, sellable outcome and why the hardest part was never the science.More about this episode.Thoughts?

As we continue our Cesarean Awareness Month series, CBAC and RCS moms, this one's for you. If your future birth looks like a subsequent cesarean, we want to make that cesarean the best, most peaceful, and empowering experience it can be. Better birth after cesarean means better options, and today's episode takes a deep dive into the option of Maternal Assisted Cesareans (MAC). We are joined today by Dr. Koen Deurloo from the Netherlands. Dr. Koen is a Dutch OB/GYN specializing in perinatology and family-centered cesarean birth. Since 2017, his team has performed more than 300 Maternal Assisted Cesareans, developing one of the most experience-based approaches to this technique. He is also the author of Door de ogen van een gynaecoloog and teaches widely on respectful, trauma-informed birth care. His work focuses on creating transparency and calm so parents feel genuinely involved and supported throughout the entire process, especially in the operating room. In this episode, Dr. Koen walks us through how he was first introduced to the MAC (spoiler: it was a mom and her doula!), how the procedure has evolved over time, what his patients have to say about it (another spoiler: 100% recommend it), and how to advocate for this kind of experience with your provider.Birth after cesarean deserves dignity. It deserves options, and it deserves finding a provider who holds your stories with care and who speaks about birth the way Dr. Koen does.We PROMISE this is an episode you will not want to miss!!!Women of strength, we know how difficult it can be to choose between going for a VBAC, pivoting to a CBAC, or scheduling a repeat cesarean. Whether for medical or personal reasons, your choice is valid and good. There are so many brave ways to birth. As always, our team here at The VBAC Link is here to give you options, stories, resources, love, and support!Through the Eyes of a Gynecologist by Dr. Koen DeurlooMACAZINEPaige's Maternal Assisted Cesarean StoryNeeded Website: Code VBAC for 20% OffThe Ultimate VBAC Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Your tongue might be the most underused tool we have for understanding food quality — and for moving consumer buying power toward regenerative farming. Sherry Hess, culinary professional, nutritionist, and founder of The Flavor Remedy, makes the case that taste is not a nice-to-have. It is a powerful biological signal, and the food processing industry has understood this far longer than we have.We go deep on the five tastes — salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami — and on why ultra-processed food has been so effective at training us toward intense sweetness while stripping out complexity. Sherry argues that bitterness isn't a flaw to engineer out; it's the missing piece tied to polyphenols, antioxidants, detoxification, glucose metabolism, and satiety. The good news: chefs already know how to balance bitter with umami, fat, protein, and spice. We don't all need to go to culinary school — we just need to borrow a few of their moves.We also take apart the "chocolate steak syndrome": the fitness industry has built an entire pipeline of protein products with steak-level nutrition engineered to taste like chocolate and in doing so, trained a generation to completely ignore what flavour is actually telling them. For investors and brand builders, Sherry has a practical provocation: if a product claiming to be regenerative needs five or six flavourings on the label, it's almost certainly masking the low quality of what's underneathMore topics covered: the five tastes framework and what each signals biologically; why bitter links to immune function, glucose metabolism, and detoxification; how non-nutritive sweeteners disrupt the microbiome.Thoughts?

African soils were once so alive, nobody called it regeneration, the land just gave. Dr. Kofi Boa, founder of the Center for No-Till Agriculture (CNTA) in Ghana, has spent decades proving they can give again.Boa traces his journey from a burned family farm to one of Africa's most compelling soil restoration demonstration models and makes the case for a distinctly African approach to regeneration: grounded in what fallow land has always shown us, driven by farmers who need a full granary before they need a carbon credit, and proven through evidence you can walk through and see for yourself.From community-led adoption to the tension between carbon credit schemes and food security, this is a grounded, honest account of what building a regenerative agriculture movement looks like from the inside, in the soil, with the farmers, over decades.More about this episode. Thoughts?

The healthiest economies will show up with drinkable rivers. That is the image Laura Ortiz Montemayor works backwards from — every Monday morning, every investor meeting, every slide deck.Laura is a regenerative finance strategist, founder of SVX Mexico, and co-founder of LARIS — the Latin American Regenerative Investment Summit. This is her third time on the show, and a lot has happened since we last spoke. LARIS 2025 sold out — more than 200 people, billionaires, farmers, and practitioners in the same room, conversations moving from spreadsheets to love and frequencies. LARIS 2026 is coming bigger: hosted on a wetland in Bogotá, May 12–14, with WATER as the central theme. We also talk about the collapse of USAID and the damage it did across Latin America, how the sector is rebuilding with local capital, and the question this whole conversation keeps circling: how do you make investors fall in love with life — without losing them on the spreadsheets?More about this episode.Thoughts?

Regenerative agriculture really works. Data shows that the ability of crops, from planting to harvest, to withstand weather shocks (50-year droughts and floods happening every year, anyone?) correlates very strongly with regenerative agriculture practices. To enable that at scale, MRVs are crucial. Happy to welcome back on the podcast Anastasia Volkova, co-founder of Regrow Ag, the AI-powered platform to make agriculture resilient, who just made another acquisition. We check in with the MRV pioneer and successful entrepreneur about why they are merging with the leading LATAM player. Last time we talked, five years ago, they had also just merged.We talk about the current state of the MRV world: who is paying, who isn't, who is doubling down on remote sensing, and who is investing in resilient agriculture.What do the current wars everywhere (we are recording this in mid-March '26, when the Iran war is in full swing) mean for resilient agriculture and the investments needed to unlock it? We also talk- just as we did five years ago- about fertiliser and the double role it plays. In the Global North we can easily cut 70%- yes, 70%- without meaningful yield drops, but in the Global South it's desperately needed in many places. With the current exploding prices and energy costs, that will be difficult.We discuss AI and its ability to unlock insights from large (cleaned-up) data sets, and why she is stepping into a more living-systems way of thinking. She's optimistic that watershed- scale regeneration is almost at our fingertips.More about this episode.Thoughts? Ideas? Questions?
