What if the future of farming wasn’t measured in harvests, but in centuries?
In this episode of Tomorrow’s Bites, we sit down with Peter Michel Heilmann, a lifelong change-maker who has helped launch global sustainability movements and is now focused on one bold mission: building a 1000 Year Vision movement to secure the future of family farms.
Peter believes farmers are the stewards of our land, yet they are trapped in broken financial systems that leave them asset-rich but cash-poor. His solution blends regenerative agriculture, innovative financing, and long-term trusts to protect farmland, empower farmers, and keep value in rural communities for generations to come.
We explore:
- Why traditional finance fails farmers,and how to fix it.
- Why cash flow, not land, is the biggest risk for farmers.
- How debt, banks, and sale, leaseback deals trap farmers in poverty.
- Why short-term profit thinking is destroying food systems.
- The role of trusts and foundations in protecting farmland for the future.
- How regenerative farming must also be about regenerating culture and community.
