MEET SOME OF OUR AMAZING STUDENTS
PAYING IT FORWARD
We’re committed to supporting as many regenerative farmers as possible. We do that in a number of ways, e.g. through a huge amount of free content on the blog, book giveaways and our paid programs. We also offer scholarships to our online courses Start the Right Farm and The Regenerative Agriculture Masterclass once a year. Here are this year’s recipients thus far:
IRENA KOTIGA, CROATIA
When Irena found herself unemployed after a stressful career in finance, she decided to focus on the family homestead that featured goats, chickens, gardens and an orchard. Apart from wanting to make a living off the land, Irena is also keen on revitalising the goat keeping tradition in her region, inspiring young people to come back to work the land.
“I had this dream for a long time. After 5 months of this experiment I can’t see myself in the office anymore. We had great response and big demand for our products (cheese, milk, yoghurt, meat and eggs).”
NEIL PYE, AUSTRALIA/NORWAY
Neil and his family are moving from Australia to Norway to take over his wife’s family conventional potato farm.
“We want to regenerate the ecosystem and restore the farm to a diverse and resilient enterprise that can send out a ripple effect into the surrounding area that might see more people value nutritious food and where it comes from. We have 2 small kids and we’re looking for a lifestyle where we can spend time together in nature and create a legacy that we will be proud to leave them with.”
JOYCE BERGSMA, THE NETHERLANDS
A nutritional therapist and home gardener, Joyce’s work at Patagonia has inspired her to make a greater positive impact in the environment.
“My partner just bought a small piece of land in his hometown to be closer to the sea, nature and sun. We want to demonstrate a circular way to farm, regenerate the soil, grow unique products that can add value to local restaurants and provide a place for learning. As a nutritional therapist I’m keen to demonstrate to the community how important nutritious food is for our health.”
