197 Farmers’ Philosophy - Jeroen Klompe, pioneer of regenerative agriculture
A conversation between Koen van Seijen, host of the Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast, and Jeroen Klompe, farmer and owner of Klompe Landbouw.
We can learn so much more from farmers than how to restore soil. Regeneration goes much further and deeper. That’s why this is the first episode of the Farmers’ Philosophy series, where we make time with farmers who are pushing the boundaries of regenerative agriculture, we sit down with them and take time to to explore more than soil health.
The video version of the conversation is on YouTube. Film and edit by Caspar Daniël Diederik of Storytravelers.
