Click here to be matched with an expert consultant or mentor for your regenerative farm journey!\n\n\n\nToday I\u2019m excited to announce a completely new thread to this podcast. I\u2019ve teamed up with Climate Farmers, the company that I\u2019ve been working with for over a year now, that is working to scale regenerative agriculture in Europe by assisting farmers in their transition toward regenerative management of their land and businesses.\xa0\n\n\n\nAt the beginning of this year our whole team invested a lot of time in reaching out to the people in our network all around Europe in order to learn about what their goals are, what they\u2019re struggling with, and how we can co create solutions together. One of the primary things we found is that many of us are searching for specific connections in order to have dedicated support as challenges inevitably come up.\n\n\n\nAs a result, we\u2019ve begun building a consultant matching service for farmers who are looking for knowledgeable and experienced consultants, coaches, or experts. Luckily, we have a growing list of people around the continent who fit that description and are available to offer assistance.\xa0\n\n\n\nSince we also know that it can be tough to choose between so many experts, we offer help in this area by selecting from the criteria and experience that's important to you and is relevant to your context.\xa0\n\n\n\nIn order to showcase the astounding knowledge and expertise of some of the people in our network, I\u2019m starting off this first episode of this new thread on Climate Farming to highlight some of the best regenerative agriculture consultants from around the world in order to get a better understanding of the process of transitioning a farm to regenerative management. \n\n\n\nIn the coming months we\u2019ll explore the steps that our experts advise to guide growers through the essential journey of mindset change, observation, learning, experimentation, monitoring, and evolution of ideas in order for farmers to transform their relationship with the land.\xa0\n\n\n\nAlong the way, if you, or anyone you know, would like to reach out directly to the people that we interview, or are looking to be connected with a regenerative agriculture expert in your area, you can get in touch with us directly by clicking the link I\u2019ve put up on the show notes for this episode on the Regenerative Skills website. The same goes if you\u2019re a regenerative agriculture coach or consultant who would like to be featured on our roster of experts. You can find that easily at regenerativeskills.com or through our linktree on Instagram\n\n\n\nWith all of that said, I wanted to get this series started off with a deep dive about what it means to be an effective assistant to farmers and land managers in transition. \n\n\n\nWhether you call yourself an educator, consultant, coach, mentor, or something else, everyone has a different approach and has a different process. That\u2019s why I reached out to Nicole Masters, who\u2019s now launching a program to train highly effective coaches and consultants called CREATE.\n\n\n\nNicole is an agroecologist, educator and systems thinker with nearly 20 years\u2019 of extensive practical and theoretical experience in regenerative land practices.\n\n\n\nShe has been communicating these methods throughout Australasia since 2003 and North America since 2013; helping to inspire and guide producers into new and innovative ways to produce food.\n\n\n\nNicole has a deep commitment to finding win-win solutions for both the wellbeing of landscapes and land managers. As a seasoned soils coach, she has a proven record in supporting producers in meeting their goals. \n\n\n\nWith over 1.2 million acres under her programs, Nicole excels at identifying and solving challenges through proactive management. Her passion for fostering the growth of these farming practices calls upon diverse skills in facilitation, conflict resolution, an understanding of behavioral change and science communication.\n\n\n\nWith soil as a major driver for ecosystem health,
