Un épisode fascinant à ne pas manquer ! On part en immersion dans le sud-ouest de la France, sur une ferme d’amandes bio-régénérative à la vision radicale. Martin d’Archimbaud, co-fondateur de GreenPods, nous ouvre les portes de La Granja, un projet agricole unique qui pourrait bien changer le visage de la filière amande en Europe.
Moins d’eau, plus de biodiversité, zéro chimie, des couverts végétaux colorés et une passion débordante pour les arbres : ici, on ne se contente pas de planter, on régénère les sols, on construit un modèle agricole résilient et local, et on s’attaque à l’hégémonie californienne sur la production d’amandes.
Si vous pensez que l’agriculture peut être à la fois belle, rentable et régénératrice, cet épisode est pour vous.
Dans cet épisode, on parle de :
L’histoire d’une reconversion de monoculture de maïs vers une ferme d’amandes bio régénérative
Comment l’arbre devient un allié du climat et un levier de relocalisation alimentaire
Les secrets agronomiques pour créer un verger résilient : irrigation de précision, taille, variétés, fumier, biochar…
L’impact des couverts végétaux et des pratiques bio sur la santé des sols
Et pourquoi la résilience long terme est bien plus rentable que la productivité court terme

🍷 Can regenerative agriculture revolutionize the wine industry? Stephen Cronk, founder of Maison Mirabeau, thinks so—and he’s proving it, vine by vine.
After leaving London’s corporate world to build an internationally recognized rosé brand in Provence, Stephen took on his biggest challenge yet: turning a chemically exhausted vineyard into a thriving ecosystem using regenerative farming.
In this episode, we dive into his incredible journey, the science behind regenerative viticulture, and why the future of wine depends on healthier soils, more biodiversity, and working with nature rather than against it. Whether you love wine, sustainability, or just a great comeback story—this episode is unmissable.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ How regenerative agriculture is transforming vineyards and wine quality
✅ The surprising environmental impact of traditional viticulture (and how to fix it)
✅ Why soil health is the secret to better grapes, better wine, and a more resilient future
✅ How Stephen is leading the regenerative wine movement—and what’s next for viticulture
✅ Practical strategies for farmers and winemakers to start regenerating their land
Why This Matters:
🌍 Vineyards make up just 3% of EU farmland but use up to 20% of its pesticides. The wine industry is at a crossroads: continue down the path of chemical dependency or embrace a more sustainable, regenerative future. Stephen Cronk is showing that regenerative viticulture isn’t just good for the planet—it also makes better wine, healthier vines, and stronger businesses.
Tune in now to explore how regenerative farming can reshape the wine industry—one vineyard at a time!

🌱 Can We Make an Entire Food System Regenerative?
Sweden’s food system isn’t regenerative—at least, not yet. But Sara Maxence is working to change that. With a background in big agri-food corporations, she’s seen firsthand the challenges of shifting towards sustainability. Now, she’s leading an effort to bring farmers, processors, and policymakers together to explore how Sweden can transition from an extractive, industrial food model to one that is more diverse, resilient, and soil-friendly.
In this episode, we dive into the early steps of this journey: breaking down silos, testing new financing models, and creating real demand for regenerative crops. If you’re curious about how regenerative agriculture can scale beyond individual farms—and what needs to change at the system level—this episode is packed with valuable insights and fresh ideas.
🌾 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why our food system is stuck—and how to start shifting it
✅ How Sweden’s farmers are experimenting with regenerative practices
✅ The challenge of selling diverse, soil-friendly crops in a wheat-dominated market
✅ How digital tools and financing models could accelerate the transition
✅ Why Europe’s agricultural policies (CAP) can both help and hinder change
Sweden is early in this process, but Sara’s work offers a fascinating case study on what it takes to move from concept to action. Listen now to explore the opportunities and challenges of making food systems truly regenerative!

What if the future of farming wasn’t in the hands of corporations, but in the hands of communities? Imagine a world where farmers don’t struggle with crushing debt, where land is protected for generations, and where you—not just governments or investors—can help reshape the food system.
In this episode, we dive into an innovative model that could revolutionize access to land, empower regenerative farmers, and reconnect people with their food.
Our guest, Eline Veninga, is at the forefront of this movement with Lenteland, a groundbreaking initiative that makes farmland affordable, community-owned, and dedicated to regenerative agriculture—forever. We’ll explore how this model works, why the current food system is failing farmers, and how you can be part of the solution.
If you care about food, farming, and the future, this episode is a must-listen!
In This Episode, We Discuss:
✅ Why farmland is becoming unaffordable—and how we can fix it
✅ How community-owned farms give power back to farmers and citizens
✅ The shocking way most banks treat soil health—and why it’s completely backwards
✅ Why farming needs TEAMS, not just solo farmers
✅ How YOU can invest in regenerative agriculture—starting at just €500
🌍 Why This Episode Matters
Farmland prices are skyrocketing. Farmers are disappearing. Investors and corporations are buying up land, making it impossible for small farmers to survive.
Leenteland is rewriting the rules—creating community-owned farms where regenerative agriculture can thrive, free from market speculation.
This isn’t just an idea. It’s happening now. Lenteland already has multiple farms up and running, proving that a citizen-powered food system isn’t just possible—it’s the future.

In this special highlights episode, we revisit a powerful conversation with Duncan Williamson, global expert on sustainable diets and food system transformation. Duncan’s insights provide a wake-up call on the global food system’s deep-rooted challenges—from biodiversity loss to malnutrition—while offering a hopeful path toward regenerative, resilient, and culturally diverse food systems.
Throughout this episode, Duncan discusses how our current industrial food model, driven by profit, has serious consequences for our planet and our health. He shares shocking statistics: 50% of the global population is malnourished, biodiversity loss is accelerating, and our dependence on monocultures makes food systems dangerously fragile. But there’s hope. With solutions like agroecology, sustainable diets, and re-localizing food production, Duncan maps out a vision for a future where food systems nourish both people and the planet.
Join us as we revisit this eye-opening discussion on food system reform, emphasizing agricultural biodiversity, soil health, and regenerative practices. Discover how supporting these shifts can help tackle the climate crisis and promote true food equity.

This episode explores how public policies and subsidies can become powerful tools in accelerating the global transition to regenerative agriculture. Our guest, Simon Kraemer from the European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture, dives into how existing subsidies often promote harmful agricultural practices—and why shifting these financial flows is essential for building a resilient and sustainable food system.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
• Defining Regenerative Agriculture: Why we should focus less on rigid definitions and more on outcomes like net primary productivity and soil health.
• The Power of Policy Change: The staggering reality that over $700 billion of taxpayer money is spent annually on agricultural subsidies—and how this could be redirected to support regenerative practices.
• Performance-Based Subsidies: How results-driven, context-specific subsidies could empower farmers to work harmoniously with nature rather than adhering to rigid, outdated practices.
• A Call to Hope: Despite global crises, Simon’s inspiring message reminds us that the regenerative agriculture revolution is a genuine seed of hope for the future.
Join us for this thought-provoking conversation, as we discuss the challenges and opportunities of reshaping agriculture policy to regenerate our soils, ecosystems, and food systems.
