Policy change, advocacy, and the future of regen ag in Europe: panel session

Author: Oliver Goshey December 19, 2025 Duration: 58:03
There’s no way around it, governance of the agricultural industry has a massive impact on how farms and the agrifood system are managed. Policy, regulations, and incentives are driven by many forces and stakeholders. Yet the political machine is slow and heavily influenced by financial interests. Where does this leave farmers themselves, and most notably, farmers who strive to steward their land and ecosystems in ways that policy hasn’t caught up to or in some cases, doesn’t even allow? In this panel we’ll explore these and many more questions with speakers who are closely connected, not only with the political side of this discussion, but the growers and land stewards affected. Is there hope for positive change and better incentives, or will those committed to advancing regenerative agriculture continue to swim against the current?

What does it mean to live a regenerative life, and how do we actually do it? That's the central question explored in Regenerative Skills, hosted by Oliver Goshey. This isn't just about theory; it's a practical dialogue focused on stewardship of the natural world and fostering strong, resilient communities. Every week, Oliver brings conversations with a diverse range of global experts right to your ears, translating their knowledge into actionable steps you can integrate into your daily habits. You'll hear tangible strategies for everything from soil health and sustainable food systems to building local networks and re-skilling ourselves for a better future. The aim is to move beyond sustainability toward active regeneration, providing the tools and perspectives needed to make a tangible difference right where you are.
