rewind #1 - Can Farming Be a Force for Good? [WILLEMIJN DE IONGH]
Description
🎧 In this Deep Seed #REWIND episode, we revisit a powerful reflection from Willemijn de Iong of Commonland, who shares how farmers in the Netherlands are redefining their role in ecosystem restoration.
She dives into the heart of the Wijland project, where over 300 farmers are shifting away from intensive dairy monocultures toward regenerative and nature-inclusive farming practices — all while building community and economic resilience.
Willemijn also unpacks the deep structural challenges and offers an inspiring vision for how we can create a new “Combined Zone” that integrates agriculture and biodiversity.
This mini-episode is a powerful reminder: regenerative agriculture isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing better, together.
🌍 Topics covered:
Regenerative agriculture in the Netherlands
The Four Returns framework (Inspiration, Social Capital, Natural Capital, Financial Return)
Land use and zoning reform
Farmer-led change and community building
Food forest legislation & landscape restoration
⎯
This episode was made in partnership with Soil Capital, a company accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health and biodiversity 💚
