Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement

Sep 24, 2022 Season 1 Episode 17

My guest this week is Antony Yousefian, who is the Founding Partner of ReFi Ventures and Advisor to Tech Nation. Listen to Antony talk about how:

Conventional intensive agriculture is extractive, while regenerative agriculture is better for food security, resilience and health
Innovation through regenerative agriculture can turn farming into a “hero industry” that reverses the destruction of nature’s ecoservices
Early-stage investment and financial innovation (such as soil carbon credits) needs to help to fund the transition to regenerative agriculture
AgTech (agricultural technology) can give us tools to measure nature’s services (like soil health and carbon cycling) and to quantify climate risks
Cultivating micro-proteins is a hundred times more energy efficient than the current farming system and five times more efficient than cell agriculture
