Climate Farmers on scaling regen ag in Europe
Why we need regenerative role models for farming, business, and investing
I am so excited about this episode!
If you don’t know Philippe Birker, I suggest you follow him on LinkedIn immediately.
I met Philippe through Top 50 Farmers, a project that I am co-leading to scale regenerative agriculture in Europe by spotlighting the farmers leading the way. Philippe serves on the T50F Board and is a powerhouse of knowledge, a thoughtful writer, and superconnector in the space (more on this in the episode).
Philippe is the Founder of Climate Farmers, which supports European farmers in the transition towards regenerative agriculture by providing a supportive community, context specific transition knowledge, and financing in the form of carbon and biodiversity credits.
When he is not attending events or visiting farmers, Philippe is living in the Serra da Estrella mountain range in central Portugal where he is rebuilding an abandoned village into a music and art residency combined with a regenerative farm.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why we need new farmer role models
Regenerative business models
How to find aligned financing as an impact company
Stakeholder capitalism
Why Climate Farmers instated a golden share
Philippe’s backstory and journey into entrepreneurship
Embracing regenerative principles as a leader and in your personal life
Why a strong vision and values is key for creating change
