EP 5 (LIVE): Vegan farming and humanure - with Joost van Strien


Listen Later

This episode is a special one: it was recorded live with an audience!

We delve into the topic of Vegan Farming with Joost van Strien. He is known as the farmer of Zonnegoed in Flevoland and from No Shit Food. Joost is one of the two (larger scale) vegan farmers in the Netherlands, a true pioneer! Topics like green manure, vegan compost, and innovative cultivation methods, as well as the nutrient cycle in agriculture, are discussed. The latter topic is delved into more deeply with the help of Kimo van Dijk, a researcher from Wageningen University & Research, who enriches us with his scientific knowledge about humanure (=human manure). A discussion is opened with the audience about the statement: “To produce food in a sustainable way, we should transition to humanure and vegan compost instead of chemical fertilizer and animal manure”. Are you curious about the opinion of the audience?

Tune in and enjoy!
