Episode 19- Dr. Delphine Derrien | Modeling Regeneration: Agriculture, Carbon & the Future of Food
What if we could simulate the future of farming—and make smarter choices now?
In this episode, systems modeler and agroecologist Delphine Derrien breaks down how regenerative agriculture can be scaled intelligently through computational modeling. Her work connects carbon sequestration, regional realities, and global food systems in ways that challenge conventional thinking.
We explore:
- How modeling can predict the climate impact of regenerative farming
- Why “best practice” varies by region, culture, and ecosystem
- How better data leads to more grounded decisions for both growers and policymakers
This is systems thinking in action—practical, scalable, and rooted in the complexity of real land, real people, and a changing planet.
