Woody Tasch thinks like a root vegetable grows: slow, sure, mostly underground, deeply nourishing.                 From this perspective, in collaboration with a rainbow circle of fellow evolutionists, comes the investment structure Tasch and friends call Beetcoin: small local donations generating Zero interest, locally-made loans supporting local sustainable food systems and the community economics they feed to flourish - aiming to work on a global scale.            A mission-focused investment strategist since the 1990s, Tasch keeps FUN in focus, in his serious business of transforming systems: food, funding, social values. Since 2010, the Slow Money movement he has fronted has channeled $80 million to over 800 organic farms and local food enterprises via volunteer-led efforts in dozens of communities.

For Woody Tasch, founder of Slow Money Institute, it's all about balance. Every moonshot needs an Earthshot; diversity and efficiency; simplicity and complexity. That's where the “deceptively simple” concept of Beetcoin comes in. Providing crowdfunded, 0% loans to organic and local food projects, Beetcoin is a challenge not just to the food system but the growth economy at large.

Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce. It also identifies pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs as compared to products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be. But the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing small farms that follow the law. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but are still paying a premium price. The lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

For Sam and Bill Wiseman, Sunflower Savannah Farm embodies  the continuity of life. Everything serves a purpose and contributes to the wellbeing of the farm.               Sheep eat the grass, conserving tractor fuel, and produce compost to grow cut flowers and specialty veg. Garden produce supports the Market, the animals and the farm family. Dogs guard the animals and the house and cats hunt critters that would ruin the grain eat garden seeds. Chickens, ducks, and geese feast on the bugs that eat the plants that feed everyone, and provide eggs to eat and compost to feed the garden soil. garden. This is the cycle for Sam and Bill, farming 22 acres in Beaufort, MO.    Thanks to Known & Grown STL, our regional local food brand and farm certification, for connecting KDHX Earthworms to Sunflower Savannah - and to all the Earthworms On The Farm conversations.

There is more to life than money. But even the investors who believe that sentiment continues to feed the beast, putting much of their capital back into a system that thrives on consumption. What if we considered the impact of our investments as much as the returns? What if we designed our capital markets around restoration rather than extraction? What if we put Slow Money into local food systems and made soil health part of our ROI?  Woody Tasch is the founder of the Slow Money Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to catalyzing the flow of capital to local food systems, connecting investors to the places where they live. He is also the author of Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money and SOIL: Notes Towards the Theory and Practice of Nurture Capital.  Today, Woody joins Ross and Christophe to discuss how he developed the idea of Slow Money and explore the reasons why we can’t seem to get our money out of the markets and do something radically different with it—especially foundations whose investments are out of alignment with their missions.  Woody introduces us to the concepts of innate value and shared risk, explaining how Wendell Berry’s ideas around belonging to a community inform his work on investing locally. He also covers the idea of blended value, weighing in on the non-financial aspects of sharing risk with farmers. Listen in for Woody’s distinction between agrobusiness and agriculture—and learn how Slow Money’s 0% loan program is growing a pool of capital and restoring soil health!   Key Takeaways   [1:13] Woody’s path to reversing climate change 35 years in philanthropy, angel investing Introduced to green revolution in 1979 Moved $75M into 750 small organic farms   [6:46] How Woody developed the idea of Slow Money Greatest accumulation of wealth in history Yet don’t take money out of system Need to think long-term (generationally)   [13:17] Why few foundations align their investments + mission Focus on making money to have more to give away Bought into market growth as only way to grow assets   [16:34] Why divestment campaigns don’t totally work Existing structure of foundations hard to deconstruct Lose sight of innate value and shared risk   [21:58] How Woody defines shared risk  Similar to CSA model (buy share of farm’s produce) Admit to risk and take on piece, ‘all in it together’   [24:01] Woody’s insight around blended value Continuum from giving money away to VC Explore relationship with impact continuum   [25:27] Woody’s take on the non-financial aspects of shared risk Neighbor’s barn burns down, loan money without interest Investing in community makes innate value obvious   [30:06] What keeps Americans from realizing Berry’s vision Urge to conquer, extract and exploit Lack of belonging to places we live   [36:18] The difference between agriculture and agrobusiness Farmers like Eliot Coleman = connection to land Large-scale industrial ag (45 minutes/acre/year)   [41:52] Slow Money’s SOIL 0% Loan Program in Boulder Individuals make annual donations of $250 to $50K Grows pool of capital over time + builds soil fertility   Connect with Ross & Christophe   Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori Newsletter Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   Slow Money Institute Email info@slowmoney.org Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing as if Food, Farms, and Fertility Mattered by Woody Tasch SOIL: Notes Towards the Theory and Practice of Nurture Capital by Woody Tasch International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture by Wendell Berry Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered by E.F.

Woody’s journey and the birth of Slow Money

Slow Money’s Results and Woody’s new book

Woody Tasch is an environmentally responsible financier. He worked for over 30 years in finance, managing other people’s money but ten years ago he took a radical step and started the Slow Money movement.Slow Money walks a fine line between philanthropy and investment - the return on an investment is the regeneration of the soil and, ultimately, the the health of the local community and planet. This is a full length interview with Woody that we featured in Episode 44 Interview by Abby Rose and Editing by Suzie McCarthy for Farmerama https://twitter.com/woodytasch?lang=en https://twitter.com/SlowMoney https://www.facebook.com/SlowMoney https://www.instagram.com/slowmoneyinstitute/ https://slowmoney.org

In this episode you will learn about: Investing in small, local farming communities Pollinator decline & why it matters How you can effect positive environmental social change Making an impact with your money

Investment pro Woody Tasch is evolving his own field. Profoundly inspired by the nature of soil - yes, that BROWN stuff we typically march right over - his work serves its loamy muse by plowing, so to speak, "Nurture Capital" directly into the Local/Sustainable Food movement, yielding ROI of healthier soil and stronger local community economics and culture. He calls this prophet-able enterprise Slow Money.      Woody Tasch's turns of phrase and process grew an investment movement from his publication a decade ago of the now-classic Inquiries Into the Nature of Slow Money - Investing As If Food, Farms and Fertility Mattered.  Now he is structuring SOIL, Slow Opportunities for Investing Locally. He articulates how and why the transformative aim of this economic system works in his mytho-poetic and colossally detailed new book SOIL 2017 - Notes Toward the Theory and Practice of Nurture Capital. Tasch is the bard of a new economic saga, the story of bringing our human relations with money soundly back to Earth. His work is surely, slowly meeting a "lively serious," planetary-scale human need.

Since Woody Tasch originated this idea in the late '00s, they have moved $50,000,000 between individuals for their projects, with a loan failure rate less than traditional loans. Nancy shares her experiences connecting with farmers so they can grow their operations in Kansas, and the impact that is having on neighbors and agricultural practices. By creating new farming markets, they create new opportunities for current and beginning farmers, whether this is their first year or fifth generation in agriculture.
