Béla Hatvany – Born in 1938, now thinking AI, enoughness, precision fermentation and building a care economy

A conversation with Béla Hatvany, pioneering entrepreneur in the automation of libraries and the information industry, born in 1938, turned into angel investor and philanthropist, on his journey, what’s enough, the role of AI and EI (empathetic intelligence), and the potential of precision fermentation.

Bela and his wife Ellen founded in 2011 Mustardseed Trust, a charity with the vision of a world in which all beings live in partnership with the web of life for all to thrive. Mustardseed Trust, which has been steadfastly supporting a variety of organisations and individuals across the globe and focusing on Care Economy and Regenerative Food Systems, is winding-up its operation this June.

Anthony James – Learning from the legends how to become a positive keystone species

A conversation with Anthony James, host of The RegenNarration podcast, a Prime Ministerial award winner for service to the international community and Honorary Research Fellow at UWA. He has had many legends at his microphone and joins us to share what he’s learned, what he sees, and what he thinks is coming next in regenerative food and agriculture.

The pioneers who spent decades developing innovative approaches to land stewardship won’t be around forever, but they’re actively passing their hard-earned wisdom to a new generation eager to accelerate positive change. Anthony shares how his own journey from business student to regeneration advocate parallels the transformative experiences many have when connecting deeply with the land.

We dive deep in issues of land access and ownership, how health concerns provide a universal entry point for engagement with regenerative principles, as people experience the immediate benefits of nutrient-dense food grown in living soil. Finally, we explore how finding ways to bring communities together, resolve conflicts, and see each other’s humanity may be the essential ingredient in catalyzing the regenerative transformation our world urgently needs.

Fireside Chat with John Kempf & Koen van Seijen @ Groundswell ’24

Ever wondered how podcasting can transform the field of regenerative agriculture? This fire side chat with John Kempf and Koen van Seijen, hosts of the most followed and longest existing podcasts in the regenerative agriculture and food space, was recorded live at Groundswell 2024.

This is an intimate conversation where we dive deep in the the long-term dedication needed to engage an audience genuinely, the nerve-wracking journey of publishing the initial episodes and the relentless effort required to build a loyal listener base. We highlight the importance of mentors, the art of storytelling and how digital platforms can amplify critical ideas and drive change.

We uncover how the overuse of nutrients like nitrogen and potassium can actually harm crops, making them more susceptible to diseases and pests, and ultimately reducing yields. We explore the research on plant nutrition, plant health and fertilizer use and questions traditional agronomy practices. John shares about Advancing Eco Agriculture’s fundraising experience within the farming community and the strategies for reaching wider audiences, including turning our podcast episodes into books. Plus, a sneak peek into the shared upcoming projects focusing inputs from innovative companies.

John Kempf, what would he do with a 1 billion dollar investment fund?

John Kempf, founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) and host of Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, is back on the podcast to discuss his book on Regenerative Agriculture, developing AI agronomists, and influencing farmers to ask better questions.
