In a world where industrial agriculture dominates, what if the key to solving climate change lies in something as simple as how we farm? Philippe shares a striking insight: healthy soil, often dismissed as mere dirt, could be our greatest ally in battling floods, droughts, and even malnutrition. This episode dives into Philippe’s journey, from feeling disconnected from nature to becoming a leader in regenerative farming. Philippe, co-founder of Climate Farmers, explains how regenerative agriculture goes beyond sustainability—it's about farming in harmony with nature's principles. By nurturing soil health, boosting biodiversity, and improving water retention, regenerative farms not only produce more nutrient-dense food but can even be more profitable than conventional methods.
