Description

In this episode, we welcome Philippe Birker, co-founder of Climate Farmer-- visionary and adventurous--on a mission to scale regenerative agriculture through a community of practice for farmers and carbon.

We dive into: 

  • what is regenerative farming
  • soil health
  • the role that farmers play in maintaining healthy ecosystems
  • it's not the cow, it's the how
  • the need for a better subsidy framework
  • more transparent pricing through the supply chain and more value being passed to farmers for their hard work
  • the challenges of the availability of land
  • and the need to create a movement of future farmers for our future generation


Philippe is deeply knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to receive his hard-earned insights, which I'm now happy to share with you. Let's get into it.
