Maybe start at your farmers market, who is producing what, who is building soil?Esther would like to focus this year more on getting Farmers off color into the conversation as over 90% of farmers are white. And we need more people not fewer people on the land!Cienaga has about:20M dollars outstanding in the NoRegrets initiative28 investment outstandingof which 2 are not performingwww.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/05/21/esther-park. Please hit the share button if you think this interview is relevant for someone you know!----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com.
