Building community in agriculture: Expert panel 11
b"Welcome to the 11th of the monthly expert panel discussions, and our final panel of this year. \\n\\n\\n\\nEach month I've been hosting discussions and debates between some of the most prominent voices in regenerative agriculture, soil science, restoration land management and more. \\n\\n\\n\\nIn this session I hosted a discussion on building community in agriculture with my friends and colleagues at Climate Farmers, a non-profit organization working to build the infrastructure to scale regenerative agriculture in Europe. \\n\\n\\n\\nIn my work as the Community Coordinator with Climate Farmers I\\u2019ve heard from so many of the people in our network that they feel lonely or isolated in their work and in their own communities. \\n\\n\\n\\nDespite the work of many organisations to bring together growers in various regions, many farmers still don\\u2019t know where to turn to for support and connection. \\n\\n\\n\\nFor this panel I was fortunate enough to be joined by three world renowned teachers and farm community builders from Zimbabwe, Spain, and Germany to focus on the nuances and challenges of building agricultural communities from their own unique experiences. \\n\\n\\n\\nWe\\u2019ll hear from Allan Savory of the Savory Institute and international Holistic Management network, Ana Dig\\xf3n from the Agricultura Regenerativa network on the Iberian Peninsula, and Rudolf B\\xfchler, leader of the farmers movement BESH and initiator of the UN\\u2019s peasant rights in Germany. \\n\\n\\n\\nWe\\u2019ll go into some key starting points in bringing farming communities together, and what it takes to sustain them in the long term. We go from the importance of managing communities to alternative structures, important aspects of rural priorities, and a lot more.\\n\\n\\n\\nDon\\u2019t forget that if you want to hear the full, unedited version of this interview with the entire Q&A session at the end, be sure to check out the different subscription options on the Regenerative Skills Patreon page. \\n\\n\\n\\nSince these discussions are longer than the regular weekly episodes, and I give the more detailed descriptions of the participants in the beginning of the interview, I\\u2019ll keep the intro short and jump right into the introductions for our panelists.\\n\\n\\n\\nJoin the discord discussion channel to answer the weekly questions and learn new skills with the whole community\\n\\n\\n\\nLinks:\\n\\n\\n\\nsavory.global\\n\\n\\n\\nWhat is Holistic Management?\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://www.agriculturaregenerativa.es/\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://www.schloss-kirchberg-jagst.de/\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://besh.de/"
