Eric Smith is the founder of Edacious, a company building the infrastructure to make food quality and nutrient density measurable, objective and comparable. After spending years building a nutrition-testing platform capable of measuring macronutrients, micronutrients, bioactives and phytochemicals, alongside the benchmarks and data systems needed to make those measurements useful, he returns to sit down with us to share what they have been building, how the field of nutritional testing has evolved, and the critical insights they have uncovered. At the heart of Eric's work is a simple belief: if consumers can access and verify the quality of their food, they will demand products grown in ways that prioritize soil health and regenerative practices. This increased market demand will structurally direct more money into the pockets of farmers and land stewards, enabling them to expand regenerative agriculture across more hectares, creating a self-sustaining loop of human and ecological health. To ground this concept in science, Edacious leverages the GEMP framework—Genetics by Environment by Management practice equals Yield by Nutrition—moving beyond subjective labels to deliver objective, verified data. This episode is a deep, down-to-earth dive into the nuts and bolts of quality, nutrient density, and systemic agricultural change. Eric teases the science behind Edacious' preeminent nutrition lab, which has processed over 6,000 food samples and generated nearly a million analytical data points. The conversation exposes the compromises of industrial crop breeding through the story of carrots, compares apples to apples, reveals the massive nutritional differences hidden in the skins of produce, and explores how Eric's own eating habits have transformed since he gained direct access to the data, including a surprising advocacy for frozen food and ancient grains.

Using software to answer the key question when doing agroforestry on a watershed level, which tree to plant where and why? In this interview with Russell Wallack of Terra Genesis and co founder of Brasa, we cover a lot of ground but try to give (part of the) answer to the key question in agriculture, what to plant where and why? Especially in agroforestry systems this is key, as trees can’t walk to a more optimal spot. ---------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.

Who has the real power in your regenerative company? Money? Family? Or Purpose? Did you dare to ask the power question? ---------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.

The Purpose Network helps companies to stay independent and mission driven for the long term. They believe that by innovating the way companies are owned, financed and governed, companies become more successful in the long run and can benefit all of society. Steward-owned companies make a legally binding commitment to their employees and customers: that the company is not a speculative good or commodity but a group of people working for a purpose. Main steward owned principles:Self governance isn’t tradable, steering wheel is always hold in trust by stewards of the companyPurpose, the company has a clear purposeHow to achieve the Mission lock?Golden Share, veto share etc. Thoughts:We are working on Alternative buy out capitalSteward ownership fosters intrinsic motivationWe are getting into time where it is important for your brand how you are ownedNormally you invest and you get power, but not in this caseClosed end fund structures is one of the reasons why we are selling companies again and again and againSo many impact investors go in and measure and make sure there is an impact, but then they go out and then what?Ask the power question: who owns the steering wheel? Can you buy it or can you inherit it? Or do you have another principal, where ability and values decide if you can steer the company Show notes and links: www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/11/19/armin-steuernagel. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Take-aways from the interview:Measurements of carbon is difficultPeter: Soil carbon the living the dead and the very deadThe best kind of measurement is one that is repeated and is looking at agencyPeter is looking more and more at results not management, as everyone is doing them differently Good questions vs bad questionsOrganic growth and succession of managementFuture of agriculture means more people on the landFocus metrics on water because the benefits are local Show notes and links: www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/05/21/peter-donovan. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.

Writer of Dirt and Growing a Revolution. ---------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.

Other ways to support our work: - Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating - Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- I interviewed David R Montgomery, writer of the book Growing a Revolution where he travelled around the world visiting farmers who are growing high quality produce, profitably while growing soil carbon. All of them shared the same approach to working with the soil: ditching the plow, covering the soil and diversifying crop rotations. Meeting these farmers turned him from a pessimist into a cautious optimist. Plus we touched upon a very interesting topic which I hope to discuss further in future interviews (and which will be the topic of a new book of David and his wife Anna). How do we grow more nutrient rich calories instead of just calories? Micro nutrient contents of food has dropped 25-50% over the past decades.Healthy food starts with healthy soil?! Some tips for impact investors:Look at financing the transition, how can you partner with farmers who don’t have the financial resources, make the transition to regenerative agriculture?Look into turning around degraded land and turn it into a net asset.
