Future Planet Podcast
We are on an adventure to unite the stories and solutions of the pioneers, creating a better future for all. Together, we will journey to every continent, every country, and every community. And ask the question, what is the future you dream of?
We will explore the blockers to us getting there, and we'll ask: What will it take, what do we need, what do you need to create a future where we all thrive in balance and harmony with nature and each other?

03. Policy, soil health and growing regenerative agriculture - Philippe Birker, Co-founder of Climate Farmers
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.
