We’re excited to bring you the latest episode of "What The Field?!" with our special guest, Béla Janovich. Bela’s done it all—tech startups, running his own regenerative farm and investing in a groundbreaking farming app.

In this episode, Béla shares his journey from the high-paced tech world to the peaceful fields of regenerative farming. He talks about how his experience in all these different spaces has helped him in many aspects. 

As an experienced entrepreneur, board member, and investor, Béla Janovich is passionate about creating healthy landscapes and resilient ecosystems to combat climate change and biodiversity loss. He believes that this can be achieved successfully with a holistic approach, collaboration with stakeholders, a long-term perspective, and a sound business case at its foundation.

Béla is equally comfortable working with local operators on the farms he leads and in the boardrooms of international for-profit and non-profit organisations. His experiences range from farm-level operations and local community engagement to large-scale landscape restoration. His deep knowledge of applied technology that enables these processes benefits both sectors.

Tune in now to catch Béla Janovich on "What The Field?!" and hear all about his wonderful story. You don’t want to miss this one!

 Hey everyone! Ready for another episode of What The Field?! This time, we had the incredible Dimitri Tsitos join us, and let me tell you, it was a conversation you don't want to miss. Fun fact: Dimitri and I went to the same university, and he speaks a bunch of languages!

Dimitri is the co-founder of AgroSystemic, whose mission is to provide the tools to facilitate the regenerative transition in the Mediterranean basin, with a special focus on tree crops. It’s all about de-risking the transition for farmers. 

Dimitri brought a fresh perspective to the table. He reminded us that the conversation around regenerative farming shouldn't be about pointing fingers at large-scale industrial farmers or the Big Agriculture industry. Instead, it's about making sure everybody is part of the conversation and that change is happening on all levels. 

When farmers see how regenerative practices can improve their yield and benefit the environment, they become the biggest champions for change.

Our chat left us feeling optimistic, challenged and inspired to carry on in our vision of a world where regenerative farming is the norm, not the exception. To get there, we need policies that support these practices, financial incentives, and a shift in how consumers think about their food.

Catch the full episode here, and let's keep the conversation going. Together, we can foster a farming community that’s informed, and committed to the health of our soil, our people, and our planet.

See you next time on What The Field?!

In this new episode of “What The Field?!” we discover the fascinating story of Portuguese farmer Sergio Nicolau. Like most farmers, he grew up in a farming family and went to agronomy school to learn the ways. However, he soon started to realise the negative impact climate change — and conventional practices — were having on his farm and after doing quite a bit of consulting work for other farms, he realised he wasn’t alone.

Welcome to our new series of What The Field audio articles where you can get your fresh news straight from the farm to your ears! Find the complete written article on our blog.

The organic certification is based on a list of permitted and prohibited practices, which undoubtedly play a fundamental role in protecting the environment from the more damaging techniques of the conventional system. However, as the results are not measured in the environment, a certified organic farmer may not be regenerating his ecosystem. Therefore the only way to call yourself a "regenerative farmer" is to prove that you are regenerating the soil, the biodiversity and the environment in which you operate.
