We live in times of climate, soil, biodiversity and health crisis. You don't want to be part of the problem, but of the solution: "regenerative," the new buzzword. In all sorts of places inside and outside the Netherlands, regenerative farmers are proving that you can generate ecological, social and financial gains through food production. This potential is fantastic and explains the proliferation of regenerative initiatives. But what exactly is it? What can you do with it? And how do we ensure that 'regenerative' does not become a marketing term, but comes to fruition?
This is the first training in the Netherlands for people who want to discover if regenerative agriculture is for them. Farm Bodemzicht is the birthplace of regenerative agriculture in the Netherlands and is actively working to involve as many people as possible in a regenerative future.
This online training brings more than knowledge and inspiration, we are going to regenerate you. At its core, regenerative agriculture is about people's attitudes toward nature and society.
Meet your trainers
Anne van Leeuwen and Ricardo Cano Mateo of regenerative Farm Bodemzicht are climate farmers for life. In 2020, they started their regenerative demonstration farm on Grootstal estate, right next to Nijmegen. They market products that come from the land in the immediate vicinity and cooperate a lot with other regenerative initiatives. In this way, they are building a close community around the farm. The Bodemzicht learning place focuses on the question "how do we build a regenerative society?" Farmers, citizens, policy makers, organizations, artists and students are invited to think and work together to build such a society.

Meet your moderator
Joszi Smeets works on a better food system every day. She co-founded Food Hub with Joris because, as a social geographer, she strongly believes that the food transition is people-driven and therefore emotionally and culturally charged. It is so big but also very small, and that makes food the best tool to have in your hands. She has now been training new food changers and supporting existing initiatives as needed for 7 years.
