Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Simon Kraemer from the European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture (EARA) a fast-growing, farmer-led network that’s quietly shaking the foundations of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Simon takes us inside the movement’s origins, its mission to regenerate both ecosystems and democracy, and the groundbreaking farmer-led report that could redefine how we measure agricultural success in Europe. 💡 In this conversation, we explore: Why EARA was born and what makes it different from traditional farming unions
How regenerative farmers across Europe are using peer-to-peer science and direct democracy
The political battle to reform the CAP with performance-based subsidies, not top-down prescriptions
Surprising data from EARA’s recent report: higher profits, lower inputs, same yields
Why satellite tracking, photosynthesis data, and landscape-level thinking are the future of ag policy
Care about food, farming, climate, or just think it’s time to stop paying for destruction with public money? Listen now, cause this one’s for you! “We’re not here to be the leaders. We’re here to be the humble mycelium that holds the whole ecosystem together.” — Simon Kraemer

Astrid Vargas has spent her life helping bring endangered species back from the brink of extinction, from the black-footed ferret in North America to the Iberian lynx in Spain.
What does it actually take to restore nature? Not just on individual farms or through isolated projects, but across entire landscapes?
What if humanity already knows how to restore the ecosystems we have degraded?
