Main take aways:

• We're seeing our consumers and our society saying we want ethically produced food and fibre and we have an expectation of you the farmers that you're going to do the right thing.
• We see more and more opportunity to bring more revenue back to the farm gate for farmers who are delivering ecosystem services.
• We really believe that we only borrow our natural assets from our children and we believe that you know in the production of food and fibre it shouldn't be at the cost of the environment and it shouldn't be at the cost of the human race globally.
• And our objective here is to sit between the financial sector and the operating sector which is the farming sector and help both of those participants deliver better than average triple bottom line results.
• If consumers can recognize that in the past they've bought food and it's been a relatively low financial cost but it's been at the cost of the environment. If we can change their mindset from commodity based food to premium high quality nutrient dense food, clean food, slow food I think that's when we can really start to capture more change.

Main take aways:

• The tools we have at the moment are not up to the get up to the challenge. We need to change the whole way that we're working
• The last year has been a really dramatic learning curve listening to bankers shadowing them understanding what they would invest in and wouldn't
• Now running programs to save nature and promote green economy at the scale of a million hectares, one hundred million dollars investment dealing with one million tonnes of traded goods and a million people
• We need to be able to operate at that scale as a nature conservation organization

If you want to drive meaningful environmental change you are going to need to make regenerative agriculture more profitable. A summary of the interview with Chuck, co-founder of SoilCapital.

The suit in London and the farmer in Argentina need to start speaking each others language. The first one needs to learn the challenges of farming, the farmer needs to understand the level of reporting and milestones the fund manager needs to raise capital. 

If Chuck could change one thing: he would come up with a KPI to measure soil carbon and the correlation to financial returns. Chuck’s advice for investors: 

1. Meet with regenerative farmers and have meaningful conversations
2. Talk to investors who have been allocating capital to regenerative agriculture for a couple of years
3. Plus learn about the food sector at large and the global challenges

Thoughts from the episode:

• When you demonstrate that the right economic choice is regenerative you will completely transform how money is allocated in agriculture. And there are trillion of dollars invested in agriculture
• If you want to drive meaningful environmental change you are going to need to make it more profitable
• Carbon seems to be the best proxy for the (health of the) rest of the agriculture system- Farmers for the most part are still price takers, even if they grow a crop which is better for the planet for probably healthier for us
• Farmers could come for the regenerative premium and stay for the cost savings- Big buyers could also share in the cost savings
• When retailers and processors are going to see healthy soil means healthy plants, there will be a very clear way to differentiating between a crop that is grown in a healthy soil and one that is not

In this episode I interview Dan Kittredge, organic farmer and founder of the Bio Nutrient Food, an association working hard to demonstrate the connections between plant health soil, carbon sequestration, crop nutritional value, flavour and human health. 

Main take aways:

• Plants have evolved to grow and the more we can manage our soils in a fashion so that the plants are able to do what they do well, the better it is for everybody involved.
• There is a massive nutritional variation in food which correlates to the health of the plant, correlates to the health of the human that eats it.
• Research on 600 carrots samples from around the US where the nutritional variation in polyphenols was 20.000%.
• Assessing the actual health of the food we produce and let that be the real marker not the label or the marketing scheme.
• Bio Nutrient Meter as tool that a consumer can use to test quality in real time, as in flash a light like a smartphone camera, flash at a carrot and then get a reading out which says relatively how good this is.
• Understanding of variation in food quality, food is not uniform.

After a career in conventional chemical agriculture and software Eric Jackson could retire, but decided to build the missing piece in organic broad acre row crops (grain and soy). A 12 min summary of the interview with Eric, who is building an organic powerhouse.

This time I had the great pleasure to interview Eric Jackson, the CEO and founder of Pipeline Foods www.pipelinefoods.com.He was triggered by a fascinating statistic: the US is a grain, corn and soy powerhouse but imports 75% of its organic demand.Why? There isn’t enough organic farmland in the US, so Eric started on a journey which led 18 months ago to the founding of Pipeline Foods, to build the infrastructure needed to get organic grain, corn and soy from the farmer to the food processor. Thus giving the farmers certainty and getting more farmers through the difficult transition process.

Why are they focussing on broad acre crops and not livestock, or produce? Because of the scale that they can bring. Broad acre crops cover many many millions of acres and when you can bring them under organic and hopefully soon organic plus/beyond organic management can really have a huge impact on local/regional climate systems, biodiversity and water quality (which we briefly touched upon in the interview)

10 min Summary of the interview with Harrie, Arnout and Koen of Land Life Company

I interviewed Harrie Lovenstein, Arnout Asjes and Koen Kramer of Land Life Company. An ecosystem restoration company working to reforest hundreds of thousands of hectares. We discussed the technologies they are developing to drawdown as much co2 as possible! And their changing business model, from selling a tree planting tech to offering end to end reforestation services.

Key points of the interview:

• Koen: trees are really fascinating organisms standing on a single place for centuries and having to cope with anything that goes by
• Koen: It is really necessary to use trees to use forests to sequester carbon to to protect biodiversity to protect areas and soils and to hand them over in a better state to the next generation
• Koen: I mean the science and the government are not going to do this. That is a too lengthy and too inefficient kind of process
• Arnout: we really went from a product oriented company to an end to end reforestation company
• Arnout: now our clients pay us for either for per hectare or per ton CO2 sequestered
• Arnout: we are engaging in a process called data driven planting where we want to plant as much trees as possible in a planting season we want to do it at the lowest cost possible and at the lowest impact to nature
• Koen: Scale is really important because you have to really build in a forest. So tens and hundreds of hectares are good at the end of the day you really need to restore landscapes catchments
• Harrie: you can eat CO2 credits
• Arnout: each tree we have a G.P.S. lock so lat long which is unique for a tree
• Arnout: I don't think the public can imagine what the impact is
• Arnout: I think this (restoration) is becoming an industry
