In one of the driest, most degraded landscapes in Europe, farmer and agroforester Antonio Coelho has built 60 cm of fertile topsoil, raised organic matter to 7.4%, and slashed irrigation by 85% - all in just six years!

In this #REWIND episode, Antonio shares his deeply inspiring journey into entropic agroforestry, a form of regenerative agriculture that mimics forest ecosystems to grow food, restore land, and rebuild water cycles. He explains how complex, layered polycultures can outcompete monocultures - not just ecologically, but economically too - if we shift how we define productivity.

You’ll learn:

• Why dense, multi-species systems don’t compete — they cooperate

• How to retain water and thrive even with 8-month droughts

• What it means to feed the soil first, not just the crop

• Why economic models must account for real planetary costs

• How biomass, pruning, and photosynthesis create energy loops that regenerate land over time

This episode challenges conventional logic about competition, inputs, and profitability — and offers a bold, hopeful vision for the future of farming.

What if you could bring a dead river back to life by working with farmers, not against them?

In this powerful #REWIND episode, Silvia Quarta shares the story of a forgotten valley in one of Europe’s driest regions, where springs stopped flowing, wells ran dry, and the river disappeared. But through radical listening, community trust, and regenerative agriculture, a new vision is starting to emerge.

Rooted in hope, soil, and local food systems.

This episode is about reimagining what rural life can be, and showing that farmers, shepherds, and citizens can become stewards of large-scale ecological restoration.

🌱 Topics covered:

• Community-led ecosystem restoration

• Water retention and soil regeneration

• Rural resilience and land abandonment

• Regenerative agriculture as a water solution

• Local food systems and consumer connection

• Working with farmers to restore landscapes

• Building collective hope in degraded regions

What if we stopped just talking about regeneration… and started measuring it?

In this #REWIND episode, Peter Fröhlich, engineer, farmer, and co-founder of AgriPurpose, lays out a powerful, outcome-driven approach to regenerative agriculture. No fluff! Just clear, data-informed tools to guide land restoration at scale. Peter explains how satellite data, targeted soil testing, and simple metrics like biomass productivity, plant cover, and input efficiency can help farmers, funders, and policymakers align around real impact — not vague promises.

This is regeneration with roots. Practical, radical, and full of hope.
