For the past 1.5 years, Cindie Christiansen and I have been in stealth mode building Top 50 Farmers — a non-profit project to scale regenerative agriculture by spotlighting the farmers leading the way.
We are proud to share that we have secured 80% of the 2-year project budget from The DOEN Foundation , Astanor Ventures, AVINA Stiftung, and The Nest Family Office.
We are now preparing to launch in the fall 🙌
This November, Top 50 Farmers will launch an open call nomination to find 50 farmers from across Europe who are applying regenerative principles and demonstrating how agriculture is good business for people and the planet.
Why do we need to amplify role models?
Because stories are powerful.
They provide knowledge, inspiration, and education, influencing generations. It’s also proven that when you have someone that looks like you in a position of power, it makes it that much easier to follow in their footsteps.
Through storytelling, ecosystem building, and facilitating conversations along the value chain, we believe that we can win hearts and minds, raise consciousness, and highlight a blueprint for the future of food that is already unfolding all around us.
Big thanks to our Advisory Board, Selection Committee, and collaborators for all the love you have already shown in this project. They are heroes and tagged below <3
