    Explications claires sur les problèmes de culture que nous devrions tous savoir.

    Se battre pour l’écologie sans en comprendre le sens n’est probablement pas très porteur ni efficace. Merci Raphaël

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Farming System Is Broken... And Farmers Know It! [DAVID WHEATLEY]
Q: What has been your biggest pivot to survive, and how does direct-to-consumer change your relationship with customers?
Shifting to direct-to-consumer via social media has allowed me to capture premium pricing, reduce reliance on wholesalers, and create a personal brand that builds trust and repeat customers, though it requires constant experimentation and labor.
The Farming System Is Broken... And Farmers Know It! [DAVID WHEATLEY]
Q: Could you explain why the conventional farming system is broken and how that affects your pricing and income?
Prices and yields are locked in years in advance through contracts, but actual output depends heavily on unpredictable weather. When costs rise and subsidies wane, even with high output, profits can shrink, forcing farmers to chase higher yields or diversify to survive.
The Crops That Could Save Our Food System (but we ignore them...)
Q: What role can chefs and cultural change play in promoting forgotten foods and diversifying diets?
Chefs can rebrand and normalize forgotten crops, helping communities reconnect with their culinary heritage and making diverse, nutritious foods aspirational rather than stigmatized.
The Crops That Could Save Our Food System (but we ignore them...)
Q: What happens to our body when we eat such a limited diet, and why is diet diversity important?
A limited diet leads to micronutrient deficiencies, which cause issues like stunting and hidden hunger; diverse diets improve micronutrient intake and overall health.
How Do We Really Scale Regenerative Agriculture? [ANDREW VOYSEY]
Q: What does being a Chief Impact Officer at Soil Capital entail?
It involves leading efforts to design programs that help farmers improve their soil health and metrics that align with financial performance and environmental sustainability.
