As the climate crisis impacts our daily lives more frequently and intensively, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Yet, around the world, people are building resilience, creating community, and fighting back. In this podcast, we ask: How did we let this happen? And how can we accelerate change? We explore the climate crisis’s roots and channel our interviewees’ ideas. Through conversations that spark hope and curiosity, we hear from remarkable people who are putting transformative and innovative ideas into practice. We ask them: "How can we create a climate-resilient, just and beautiful world?"

S12E1 - How Could We? Better understand the important role soil plays in our food systems

Welcome to a new season of the podcast, where we’re asking: How Could We? Transform our food systems so they nourish people and regenerate our planetary systems.

In this food-focused season, we’re looking at a range of topics, including soil health, regenerative agriculture practices, integrated landscape management, the importance of justice and equity in this transition, enabling policies and the cultural dimension of food transformation. We’re meeing farmers, researchers, and innovators who are pioneering regenerative approaches, transforming how we eat and how we relate to our planet.

This week, host Anne-Sophie Garrigou interviews Saskia Keesstra, a soil expert from Climate KIC, who has spent years working at the intersection of soil science, farming practices, and climate policy.

Saskia discusses how healthy soil does much more than grow our food, why it is one of our most powerful allies in the fight against climate change and hear about how farmers in our network are pioneering soil regeneration practices that could transform farming and our food system.
