    Rewind #1 - Regenerative Solutions to the global food crisis [Duncan Williamson]

    In this special highlights episode, we revisit a powerful conversation with Duncan Williamson, global expert on sustainable diets and food system transformation. Duncan’s insights provide a wake-up call on the global food system’s deep-rooted challenges—from biodiversity loss to malnutrition—while offering a hopeful path toward regenerative, resilient, and culturally diverse food systems. Throughout this episode, Duncan discusses how our current industrial food model, driven by profit, has serious consequences for our planet and our health. He shares shocking statistics: 50% of the global population is malnourished, biodiversity loss is accelerating, and our dependence on monocultures makes food systems dangerously fragile. But there’s hope. With solutions like agroecology, sustainable diets, and re-localizing food production, Duncan maps out a vision for a future where food systems nourish both people and the planet. Join us as we revisit this eye-opening discussion on food system reform, emphasizing agricultural biodiversity, soil health, and regenerative practices. Discover how supporting these shifts can help tackle the climate crisis and promote true food equity.

    How policy and subsidies can accelerate Regenerative Agriculture (Simon Kraemer)

    This episode explores how public policies and subsidies can become powerful tools in accelerating the global transition to regenerative agriculture. Our guest, Simon Kraemer from the European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture, dives into how existing subsidies often promote harmful agricultural practices—and why shifting these financial flows is essential for building a resilient and sustainable food system. In This Episode, You’ll Discover: • Defining Regenerative Agriculture: Why we should focus less on rigid definitions and more on outcomes like net primary productivity and soil health. • The Power of Policy Change: The staggering reality that over $700 billion of taxpayer money is spent annually on agricultural subsidies—and how this could be redirected to support regenerative practices. • Performance-Based Subsidies: How results-driven, context-specific subsidies could empower farmers to work harmoniously with nature rather than adhering to rigid, outdated practices. • A Call to Hope: Despite global crises, Simon’s inspiring message reminds us that the regenerative agriculture revolution is a genuine seed of hope for the future. Join us for this thought-provoking conversation, as we discuss the challenges and opportunities of reshaping agriculture policy to regenerate our soils, ecosystems, and food systems. 🔊 Listen now and be inspired by the potential of regenerative agriculture to transform our world! ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ This podcast was produced in partnership with Soil Capital, a company that supports #regenerativeagriculture by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Useful links:  EARA - https://eara.farm/ Simon Kraemer - https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-kraemer-308518129/ Soil Capital - https://www.soilcapital.com/ Follow Us: Stay connected with us on social media for the latest updates and behind-the-scenes content.
