🌱 Can We Make an Entire Food System Regenerative?

Sweden’s food system isn’t regenerative—at least, not yet. But Sara Maxence is working to change that. With a background in big agri-food corporations, she’s seen firsthand the challenges of shifting towards sustainability. Now, she’s leading an effort to bring farmers, processors, and policymakers together to explore how Sweden can transition from an extractive, industrial food model to one that is more diverse, resilient, and soil-friendly.

In this episode, we dive into the early steps of this journey: breaking down silos, testing new financing models, and creating real demand for regenerative crops. If you’re curious about how regenerative agriculture can scale beyond individual farms—and what needs to change at the system level—this episode is packed with valuable insights and fresh ideas.

🌾 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why our food system is stuck—and how to start shifting it

✅ How Sweden’s farmers are experimenting with regenerative practices

✅ The challenge of selling diverse, soil-friendly crops in a wheat-dominated market

✅ How digital tools and financing models could accelerate the transition

✅ Why Europe’s agricultural policies (CAP) can both help and hinder change

Sweden is early in this process, but Sara’s work offers a fascinating case study on what it takes to move from concept to action. Listen now to explore the opportunities and challenges of making food systems truly regenerative!

What if the future of farming wasn’t in the hands of corporations, but in the hands of communities? Imagine a world where farmers don’t struggle with crushing debt, where land is protected for generations, and where you—not just governments or investors—can help reshape the food system.

In this episode, we dive into an innovative model that could revolutionize access to land, empower regenerative farmers, and reconnect people with their food.

Our guest, Eline Veninga, is at the forefront of this movement with Lenteland, a groundbreaking initiative that makes farmland affordable, community-owned, and dedicated to regenerative agriculture—forever. We’ll explore how this model works, why the current food system is failing farmers, and how you can be part of the solution.

If you care about food, farming, and the future, this episode is a must-listen!

In This Episode, We Discuss:

✅ Why farmland is becoming unaffordable—and how we can fix it

✅ How community-owned farms give power back to farmers and citizens

✅ The shocking way most banks treat soil health—and why it’s completely backwards

✅ Why farming needs TEAMS, not just solo farmers

✅ How YOU can invest in regenerative agriculture—starting at just €500

🌍 Why This Episode Matters

Farmland prices are skyrocketing. Farmers are disappearing. Investors and corporations are buying up land, making it impossible for small farmers to survive.

Leenteland is rewriting the rules—creating community-owned farms where regenerative agriculture can thrive, free from market speculation.

This isn’t just an idea. It’s happening now. Lenteland already has multiple farms up and running, proving that a citizen-powered food system isn’t just possible—it’s the future.
