30: Making farming sexy again: How Climate Farmers Aims to Support Regenerative Farmers with Co-Founder Philipp Birker
Manage episode 403534244 series 2940478
In this episode of SustainNOW, Philippe Birker, co-founder of Climate Farmers, takes us on a journey into the world of regenerative agriculture. Growing up in an agricultural town in Western Germany, Philippe has always been connected to farming, and now he’s dedicated to restoring its image and making it more sustainable. He shares his mission to make farming "sexy again" by highlighting the importance of regenerative practices that enhance soil health, increase biodiversity, and combat climate change.
Climate Farmers was founded with the aim of building the infrastructure needed to scale regenerative agriculture in Europe. Philippe explains the two key functions of the organization: the Regenerative Farming Academy, which connects a community of farmers to support the transition to regenerative practices, and CarbonCredit+, a program that allows farmers to earn carbon credits by sequestering carbon in their soil, which companies can purchase to meet sustainability goals.
Philippe discusses how regenerative agriculture not only benefits the environment but also provides long-term financial opportunities for farmers. He explains how carbon credits work, the future of farming, and what needs to change in Europe to truly scale sustainable practices. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of agriculture and its critical role in solving the climate crisis.
