Sustainable Farming: accelerating the adoption of regenerative agriculture

01.07.2024 | 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

SFNV Impact Forums are one-hour online seminars featuring Swiss and international experts that delve into the topics behind our Impact Platforms.

Why attend?

In just 60 minutes you’ll hear the latest insights from four expert speakers and then share knowledge and explore synergies with other attendees in our quick-fire Q&A session.

What?

Regenerative agriculture is a holistic farming system, designed to work in harmony with nature. Regenerative approaches can improve water and air quality, enhance ecosystem biodiversity, produce more nutrient-dense food, and store carbon to address climate change, while maintaining or improving economic sustainability.

Despite offering clear benefits for both farmers and the environment in the longer term, adoption remains relatively slow. What more can we do to help farmers mitigate the initial risks and costs of adopting regenerative practices today, to continue to scale these approaches in future?

Who?

The session will be led by the Valley’s CEO, Christina Senn-Jakobsen, a passionate advocate for food system sustainability. She’ll be joined by three expert speakers from the Valley’s ecosystem.

  • Alex von Hettlingen, Founder & Managing Director, Regenerativ Schweiz
  • Dr Anita Frehner, Research Scientist, Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FIBL)
  • Piera Waibel, Senior Advisor Regenerative Agriculture & Supply Switzerland for the Earthworm Foundation
  • Philippe Birker, COO & Co-Founder Climate Farmers
