1/3 - Betting the Farm on Regenerative Agriculture and Soil Health [ARIANE LOTTI]
Deep Seed - Regenerative AgricultureShow Notes
What if conventional farming is failing us, and the solution lies hidden in the soils beneath our feet?
In this first part, we dive into the personal journey behind one of Europe’s most ambitious regenerative agriculture projects. Ariane Lotti returned to her family farm in Tuscany, determined to transform more than 500 hectares of conventional farmland into a model for organic and regenerative farming. Against droughts, financial pressures, and skepticism from her peers, she bet everything on a vision of farming built on soil health, biodiversity, and resilience.
👩🌾 Ariane reveals:
What it takes to risk your family farm on regeneration
The challenges of transitioning from conventional to organic farming
Why building farmer-to-farmer networks was essential for success
This is a story of courage, conviction, and the power of taking one step at a time toward a healthier food future.
