Financing Regenerative Agriculture with Robyn O'Brien

I talk to Robyn O’Brien, a serial food founder, speaker, systems thinker, and an insightful builder of a more regenerative and just food system and we discuss systemic change, the importance of farming and farmers being at the front and center of development and financial security, and the impact of food to the health of the next generation. 

She also shares that the food in the 21st century is making people sick and so she has advocated for real food and has become a Real Food evangelist.

Robyn also delves into the problem that farmers face, which she happened to share in her TEDx Talk in 2011. She talks about farmers “taking out an increasingly high level of debt, to finance the purchase of genetically-engineered seeds and finance the purchase of the chemicals required to grow them.”

Further, she focuses on the multinational companies who have the power to coordinate with farmers and create sustainable plans and develop practices that benefit the farmers, the multinational companies, and the consumers.
