What do farmers really think about regenerative agriculture and what does it mean in action?
During this podcast Evalyne Akoth, whose farm is in Kisumu County, Kenya – shares her perspectives on mixed regenerative farming; climate change; and getting young people into farming for the future.
During our conversation we are joined by Practical Action’s CEO, Sarah Roberts and Oliver Furechi – the project manager who has been working with Evalyne in Kenya. Together they discuss why innovations in finance and payments for conservation are needed; how NGOs such as Practical Action can help bridge the gaps between bigger businesses and small holder farmers; and what advocating for those hardest hit by climate change really means.
This conversation is not about handouts or aid. Evalyne challenges herself and other farmers to step up to the challenges of diversifying and deepening her resilience. She is positive and determined and should be listened to.
This podcast forms part of a short series on putting people at the heart of climate action and what Climate Justice can mean for business. Visit our Climate Justice event and resources page to learn more, the post-event recordings will be added there shortly.
