In the latest episode of the season, we were delighted to be joined by Baptiste Tellier, the managing director of Fall Line Capital who is focused on farm management, data analysis and deal sourcing.
As a trained agronomist, Baptiste previously he oversaw the development and implementation of sustainable farming practices for over 200 potato farmers at Nestle. Before this, he was the former farm operations intern at The Mitchell Farm, conducting agronomic studies on corn yield.
As he currently manages both farmland and venture activities, he provides a super interesting perspective, with Fall Line essentially building out its own ecosystem – investing into the innovations and with the farmland to help deploy and scale those innovations.
Baptiste disagrees with the stereotype that farmers are slow to adopt innovations, instead shifting the focus onto the solutions that aren’t perhaps the right fit for the market.
As well as discussing previous investments, including into Lumo, he also talks about what excites him about the market – for example, robotic automation in agriculture.

In this second episode of the season we’re joined by Roric Paulman, a Nebraskan farmer and also chair of the Nebraskan Water Balance Alliance, an organisation that catalyses best practices among Nebraska farmers.
Roric has nearly 40 years of farming experience, including across the family Paulman Farms, an 8500 acre, rain-fed and irrigated farming operation. It’s located in southwest Nebraska, with land that extends into Lincoln, Keith and Perkins counties.
He talks about how the 4th generation in the family is currently running the farm, and the 5th generation, including his young grandson, knows everything there is to know!
Roric has witnessed almost 40 years of innovation across farming, from having to manually pipe water through to IoT and sensors able to measure down to the last drop.
Speaking to Roric was so interesting. He sits at the intersection between policy and practise, discussing at the highest level through the alliance and politics yet returning to help keep things running at the farm. This is a great addition to the water-agriculture focus of this seasons podcast.

In this second episode of the season, we’re joined by Dane Hague, CEO & Co-Founder of MyLand.
Dane openly shares his origin story, moving from a successful corporate legal career into co-founding a soil health company that harnesses microalgae.
He describes how we got to the stage of unfarmable land, with heavy industrial and commercial farming activity stripping out the life from soil.
The co-founder discusses the dire situation of farmland being abandoned at an alarming rate, and the impact of unhealthy soil on water. In his words, Dane says that we can’t solve the water crisis without thinking about soil.
He also talks about engaging in dialogue with farmers and why bombarding them with data isn’t the answer.
Personally, the topic of soil health was new to me and as a result, I found this episode and conversation with Dane so interesting, and perhaps alarming at the same time.
We’re interested to know what you also think on this topic.

In this first episode of the season we’re joined by Michael Alexander, head of environment for Diageo, the British multinational alcoholic beverage company.
You would have heard of some of its world-famous brands including the stout, Guinness, Johnnie Walker whisky, Smirnoff vodka and Captain Morgan rum.
The organisation has developed a 10-year action plan called Society 2030 – Spirit of Progress. This includes the ambition to replenish more water than is uses across operations in 100% of water-stress areas by 2026.
In this episode, Michael kickstarts the season and discusses what regenerative agriculture means to Diageo, provides a reality check on industry “collective action” ambitions and also some thoughts on navigating the myriad of standards when it comes to water stewardship.

In the final episode of The Stream season 6, Will and Tom are joined by Jerry Gunderson, a 4th generation rancher and businessman from Colorado.
It was great to bring in the voice of agriculture and cattle into the conversation in this episode. Often, it’s a voice that doesn’t get an invite to these types of discussions.
Jerry talks openly about life as a rancher, including anticipating water challenges and measures he’s taking to ensure there’s a water reserve available during times of water scarcity.
As a 4th generation rancher, Jerry has seen it all, from family feuds to drought and beyond. He takes us through his journey with water.

This week Will and Tom are joined by James Eklund, Water & Natural Resources Practice Lead, Sherman & Howard. Known as the architect of Colorado’s first strategic water plan, he was the Director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board.
James talks about why involving all stakeholders, effectively democratising input on the future of their supply, was a central to the success of the plan.
He discusses his origin story – he’s a fifth generation Coloradan from the Western Slope of Colorado, where his parents operate a ranch homesteaded by his great, great grandparents in 1888.
He’s often consulted on implementing what has been considered the “gold standard” of water plans in the Western US.Enjoy the episode!

In this episode, Will and Tom are joined by Newsha Ajami, Chief Development Officer for Research, Earth & Environmental Sciences Area, Berkeley Lab.
They talk about the role of water demand reduction to help increase water security across the Colorado River Basin.
Newsha discusses what’s needed to move from a centralised, aka the conventional water systems, to the decentralised model and the role of engaging community ambassadors.
She believes spurring the first movers is really important in the decentralised movement, and talks about policy developments and leading cities such as San Francisco
There is also talk, believe it or not, on pizza! That’s right, we discuss how digital innovation has given people insights on their pizza’s being cooked and delivered. Why is it that people have a more positive relationship with their local pizzeria than their water company?
It was great to have Newsha back on The Stream – we’re a big fan of her vision for the future of water.

With a background in politics and one of four co-founders of the business, Aaron talks about the challenges of carving out an entirely new market: onsite, water reuse within commercial buildings.
Although leading a recycled water beer campaign that went viral, the scaling of the business has not been without its challenges. During early events, Aaron was told by senior utility teams that he’s the guy putting them out of business!
Aaron is one of the leading entrepreneurs in this space, and we hope you enjoy his story as much as we did.

In this episode, Will and Tom are joined by Dave who gives context on Southern Nevada, providing water in the desert and meeting the needs of a population that booms from tourism and the attraction of Las Vegas.
As one of the Leading Utilities of the World, he discusses why they’re sharing lessons with like-minded water companies around the world on their 20-year demand management journey and also the long term, water resource strategy.
We also talk about grass, or turf, and the limiting of the Colorado river for the irrigation of non-functional turf, naturally refraining from breaking into the Tom Jones’ song, The green green grass of home.
