How do we expose the next generation of farmers to regenerative agriculture? Why is an 1100-hectare farm in a very high and dry area in one of the most threatened places when it comes to desertification, the perfect location to run and build a Regeneration Academy. A place where we can also expose active senior business leaders to regeneration.

314 Sowmya Balendiran - How to turn seaweed farming into an industry? Start by farming 1000 football fields of tropical seaweed in Indonesia
Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food
07/23/24 • 63 min
A conversation with Sowmya Balendiran, co-founder and chief business officer at Sea6 Energy, about regenerative aquaculture, how to restore the oceans and use them more to reduce the pressure on land systems, get fossil fuel use down drastically, like in fertiliser, plastics, and in food of course.
Sowmya is one of the pioneers who helped create the first signs of a tropical seaweed industry. What do you do if you have to invent both sides of the business? How do you grow seaweed industrially at scale and price points that make sense? And how do you process seaweed into products that sell for an interesting enough margin?
Someone will soon mention seaweed. It sounds magical, some species grow super fast, you can harvest them year-round, they don’t need any inputs, don’t need land but sea, which we have a lot of, etc. So, why hasn’t seaweed taken over the world yet? What is needed to industrially farm tropical seaweed? Industrial might sound like what we don’t want, but in tropical seaweed, most work is done by hand, standing knee-deep or neck-deep in the water. We can agree that that won’t scale and get us to a seaweed industry that can replace large amounts of fossil fuels.

362 Mike Velings - VC & PE won’t deliver regeneration — €250M evergreen proves it
Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food
04/22/25 • 85 min
A conversation with Mike Velings, co-founder of Aqua-Spark, a global investment fund for sustainable aquaculture, about how an invite he should have never received lead to the creation of the largest aquaculture fund in history, with over $250 million in assets under management (AUM) and ambitious plans to grow to $2 billion or more. This conversation goes beyond the billion dollar question—it’s already been answered. We explore why focusing on long- term investments is essential for transforming an industry and why current venture capital and private equity fund models might cause more harm than good. How can we bring institutional investors into agriculture and food, and what financial mechanisms can facilitate this? We also dive into the key drivers in aquaculture and discover why Mike is so enthusiastic about the future.
This episode is special—it’s not every day we discuss billions and institutional investment strategies with someone who has a real chance to raise the funds and put them to work.
DISCLAIMER: This conversation was recorded on Nov 21st, 2024. A month later Aqua-Spark learned about a fraud in the numbers of eFishery, an Aqua-Tech startup they have invested in. After a thoughtfully evaluation, we decided that- regardless of the news around eFishery and the effect that has had on Aqua-Spark as a fund- the story of Aqua Spark is extremely relevant and interesting to anyone working in food, agriculture, aquaculture, and for that matter, impact investing. It should be shared and heard. Excluding eFishery, Aqua-Spark has a strong portfolio, and their journey towards disrupting a whole industry with an evergreen fund and attracting institutional capital is worth putting a spotlight on.
