#09- Experiences Behind the Expertise- Robin Van Loon


Listen Later

WE ARE BACK! Research Aromatica Season 02 is underway, and therefore so is the podcast!

To start it all off we interview Robin Van Loon of Camino Verde.

Founder and Executive Director of Camino Verde, Robin has lived in the Tambopata province of the Peruvian Amazon since 2004. A long-time student of traditional and indigenous agriculture and medicinal practices, his work has focused on developing community-based reforestation strategies to regenerate important endangered plants of the Amazon. He is a writer, regenerative designer, and consultant in agroforestry, reforestation, and regenerative development.

In our conversation with Robin we discuss a variety of topics:

  • The Amazon Stereotype
  • The backpacking trip that made him fall in love with Peru
  • Camino Verde's three pronged approach to regenerative economics
  • Differences between Rosewood Essential Oils
  • And so much more!

Memorable Quotes:
"..and that doesn't just mean im going to plant my farm in a way that is similarly structured to how the forest is structured... I think it can go a step beyond the physicality. We can learn lessons from the landscape. We can learn lessons from the rainforest and one of those lessons for me is how diversity builds resilience - don't put all your eggs in one basket."
