"Diversity gives you resilience. Monoculture and the current way of farming is not the only way"

What is healthy soil and how can you help nurture it? What is the true definition of regenerative agriculture? And is it possible to grow different fruits from the same tree?!

Take a walk around the incredibly biodiverse farm of Sheila Darmos, farmer and agri-food social entrepreneur. The farm acts as an experimental and showcase hub for regenerative practices in Greece, attracting people from across Europe looking to become leaders in the transition to sustainable and regenerative agriculture. In our discussion with Sheila, we covered topics such as:

- How to build out a resilient alternative to monoculture in farming at a local and national level

- The myriad benefits of an inclusive, holistic approach to pest control, through embracing diversity in farming

- How to transition from monoculture to organic farming, and further transitioning to regenerative agriculture and agroforestry

- How to build countrywide adaptability and resilience into farming communities

- The ingredients of a healthy soil and how to nurture it

- The commercial power of working diversely with nature; uncovering hidden forests; food recipes, swimming with frogs and more!

"It is intrinsically part of human beings to steward the ecosystems that are essentially nurturing them"
