Climate Farmers on scaling regenerative agriculture in Europe

Philippe Birker is the Founder of Climate Farmers, which supports European farmers across in the transition towards regenerative agriculture by providing a supportive community, context specific transition knowledge, and financing in the form of carbon and biodiversity credits.

Philippe is a part of Ashoka’s Changemaker community, the BMW Foundation Responsible Leader network, TED Countdown, Viva con Agua and the Love Foundation, which he co-founded in 2013. He also serves on the Board of Top 50 Farmers. When he is not attending events or visiting farmers, Philippe is living in the Serra da Estrella mountain range in central Portugal where he is rebuilding an abandoned village into a music and art residency combined with a regenerative farm.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to scale regenerative agriculture in Europe
