It is about how to gather the pioneers of the regenerative and agroecology movement who against all odds and subsidies build very successful food and agriculture companies. How do we empower them to replicate their success and how do we create a strong enough voice in Brussels to change the rules of the game?More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/herve-dupied.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

193 Fred Provenza - What should we learn from domesticated animals when it comes to food as medicine
A conversation with Fred Provenza, professor emeritus of Behavioural Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University, about domesticated animals, their ability to self-select medicine and food and figure out what they need in terms of energy, vitamins and phytonutrients.
