In this episode of Townmaking, host Servaz van Berkum sits down with Thieu Besselink, who focuses on regenerative farming for the Townmaking Institute. They discuss how regenerative agriculture can secure the future of our food systems by healing ecosystems, revitalizing soil, and moving away from harmful agricultural practices. Thieu shares insights on how these methods can sustainably meet global food needs while empowering individual farmers and communities through the commons, giving them the agency to lead local change.
Together, they explore why it’s crucial to rethink our relationship with food, especially as conventional farming depletes essential resources like soil. The conversation highlights how regenerative practices promote biodiversity, sequester carbon, and enhance crop productivity, all while building resilient communities and protecting the environment for future generations.
