The regeneration of rural Europe
Listen now
Description
Luis Leblanc Torres from the farmer collective Alvelal Foods lives in one of the driest areas of Europe, the Altiplano of Murcia. Together with his partners in crime, they are   trying to get people back to their land, to combat the rural exodus. They see restoring the land as an opportunity for giving back while also harvesting and producing food. For Alvelal, regenerative agriculture is not just a cultivation method but  a tool for the restoration of a landscape. The question at the centre of Alvelal Foods' activities: "How can we rebuild a society where the farmer is the protagonist?" Find out about what Luis had to say about the transformative power of regenerative agriculture by tuning in!
