Join David Arkell, John Pooley, Lysandra Naom, and guest Dipesh Mistry, COO of Vayda, on an episode all about climate change and farming! This episode features the benefits and challenges between the two, the market for climate friendly agriculture, pricing impacts, and more. Check out our 360 Carbon Excellence Program.

Highlights

  • Role of Agriculture in Emissions: Agriculture contributes about one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, driven by intensive land use, monoculture practices, and high water consumption.
  • Climate Impacts on Farming: Farmers face increasing challenges from climate change, such as unpredictable weather patterns, shrinking planting windows, and water scarcity, impacting productivity.
  • Potential of Regenerative Farming: Veda promotes regenerative farming techniques that enhance soil health, biodiversity, and water retention, creating more resilient and sustainable farming systems.
  • Consumer Demand for Climate-Friendly Agriculture: While food companies are increasingly interested in climate-friendly products, consumer demand is still developing, with a current focus on local sourcing and organic produce.
  • Economic Considerations: Regenerative agriculture offers potential for increased resilience and sustainability, though questions remain about cost implications for consumers and equitable returns for farmers.

Key Insights

  • Regenerative Agriculture as a Climate Solution: By focusing on soil health and ecosystem regeneration, agriculture can reduce emissions and increase resilience, helping mitigate climate impacts on food production.
  • Challenges in Scaling Climate-Friendly Practices: Widespread adoption of regenerative practices requires market incentives, policy support, and possibly changes in consumer expectations regarding food pricing.
  • Supply Chain Interest in Low-Emission Products: Food companies increasingly look to reduce their supply chain emissions by sourcing climate-friendly agricultural products, which supports insetting within the food industry.
  • Resilience Benefits of Climate-Smart Practices: Implementing regenerative practices can make agriculture more resilient to extreme weather, benefiting both farmers and food security.
  • Market Dynamics and Food Pricing: The commoditization of food has led to low prices, but adopting climate-friendly practices may shift these dynamics, emphasizing fair pricing for sustainable farming.
