The Datamars Sustainability Foundation (DMSF) has teamed up with Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food to launch a podcast series that shares real-world stories of farmers and producers, while exploring the benefits of reintegrating animals into agriculture.
Datamars proudly supports DMSF in its mission of globally advancing regenerative agriculture – a holistic and relational approach to farming that works in harmony with nature. It moves beyond sustaining resources, to actively regenerating them.
Why does this matter? Evidence shows that extractive practices are no longer working well for farmers, nature, communities and the climate. Farmer livelihoods are harder to sustain, biodiversity is reducing, and carbon emissions are on the rise.
Regenerative agriculture means restoring the balance between human activity and natural cycles and in turn creating resilient, financially sustainable farming communities that nourish life and mitigate climate change.
DMSF supports groundbreaking projects around the globe to help create financially sustainable farming communities that nourish life and thrive in the face of increasingly extreme weather conditions. As a DMSF project, the podcast series aims to foster understanding and awareness surrounding the importance of animals being integrated into regenerative agriculture and food systems.
The episodes are designed to be used as an ongoing resource for farmers seeking knowledge from regenerative farmers around the globe, as well as to help policy makers to better understand farmers’ needs and the connection between policy and practice in agriculture.
Listen to the first podcast episodes on the DMSF website including;
The role of animals in the food and agriculture system of the future with Ichsani Wheeler, co-founder of OpenGeoHub and Envirometrix, and Walking the land with Benedikt Bösel – Fully integrating 300 cows into a 1000-hectare arable very sandy farm. Benedikt is founder and managing director of Gut & Bösel and steward of a 3000 hectare estate.
