Description

In this special rewind episode, we revisit an inspiring conversation with Alfonso Chico De Guzman, a regenerative farmer in Spain tackling one of the region’s most pressing challenges: water scarcity. Spain’s agricultural landscapes are battling extreme dry spells followed by torrential rains, and Alfonso has been leading the charge in transforming his family’s centuries-old farm using innovative regenerative practices.


🔑 Key topics discussed in this episode:


Regenerative Hydrology: How digging swales and creating ponds helps retain water, reduce erosion, and recharge groundwater.

Reviving Degraded Soils: Transitioning from conventional to regenerative farming to double soil organic matter and boost fertility.

Technology for Regeneration: Virtual fencing for cows and drones to map water flow are game-changers in Alfonso’s approach.

Biodiversity & Erosion Control: Vegetation strips between trees not only prevent erosion but create vibrant ecosystems.


This conversation dives into the practical side of regenerative agriculture, showing how small, strategic changes can revolutionize a farm’s resilience and ecological health. Whether you’re a farmer, a sustainability advocate, or simply curious about how we can better manage our natural resources, this episode is packed with actionable insights and hope for the future.


🎙️ Tune in to learn how Alfonso is not only regenerating his land but inspiring others to embrace nature-based solutions.
