This is our final episode of the Sustainability Series, and I'm excited to bring today's episode your way, where we're going to be looking at carbon credits, how farmers can, you know, gain financial benefits through carbon credits, and even put a premium for their product. [00:01:23] Sharon Idahosa: So join me welcome our guests for today, from two different organizations working hand in hand to ensure that farmers get the best, I mean, what they deserve across Africa and beyond. Welcome, Emily. Welcome, Vasco. Thank you so much for joining the Let's Talk Agriculture podcast show. [00:01:41] Sharon Idahosa: How are you doing today? [00:01:42] Emily Urban Cordeiro: Good, good. Thank you so much for having us. [00:01:45] Vasco Van Roosmalen: Doing well, thank you. And again, yes, thank you so much for having us. It's a pleasure to be here. [00:01:49] Sharon Idahosa: It's always a pleasure speaking with industry experts. I mean, I've been doing this for over three years now and interacting with industry experts also helps me to widen my horizons as well. [00:02:00] Sharon Idahosa: So I really want to appreciate you coming on the show and sharing your knowledge with me and my audience as well. So once again, Thank you. [00:02:08] Emily Urban Cordeiro: Sure. You're very welcome. Looking forward to the conversation. [00:02:10] Sharon Idahosa: Sure. So, yes, let's start with you now.So, in simple and clear terms, what is carbon credit all about? You know, how is FoodchainId involved in the voluntary market as a private entity? [00:02:25] Sharon Idahosa: Let me just know, get more idea about what carbon credit is all about. That's what we've been hearing for so long now. So maybe this is a good avenue to learn more about it. It's simple terms that [00:02:35] Emily Urban Cordeiro: yes. And actually, you know, when we think about carbon credits and what this actually means in the context of smallholders for various market players. [00:02:46] Emily Urban Cordeiro: It is actually complex to think about, you know, Vasco at ReSeed, you know, he'll, he'll explain in great, great detail, of course, how it works from their perspective. And, and I want to, I want to just zoom out for a moment and share how, how carbon credit. It is a way to essentially meet climate goals and on this conversation, we're talking about nature forestry systems, but essentially leverage the, the natural ecosystems that we have to meet our climate goals, um, globally. [00:03:21] Emily Urban Cordeiro: And then really we'll go into great detail about how this trickles down into the farmers and how the farmers themselves are the core to this, the solution and nature based. They now have all the stakeholders and this is working across geographies, across cropping systems, across cropping system types, farm sizes, various farm sizes, and we are a certification verification body. [00:03:49] Emily Urban Cordeiro: I mean, I'm. What this means in current credit is that we, our third party, ensures that all credit yields and claims are in fact according to the [00:04:00] standards and protocol that they were, were, you know, generated from. So that's a little bit of a, a little bit of a background there. [00:04:07] Sharon Idahosa: Thank you for sharing. So maybe Vasco, you want to share your own perspectives. [00:04:11] Sharon Idahosa: I mean, I'm sure everybody has like a different explanation, so maybe you want to give a little bit of an introduction on carbon credits as well. [00:04:20] Vasco Van Roosmalen: Yes, thank you, and Emily, that was really good. Um, on our side, um, we always say that the objective here are not the carbon credits themselves. Carbon credits are a tool that were developed to help drive climate finance, to help Uh, parts of our economy decarbonize or reduce their emissions. [00:04:38] Vasco Van Roosmalen: Uh, and so the idea is that you're able to quantify, uh, current emissions within those economic sectors, let's say agriculture or transport, for example, and then you can quantify and you can direct. Actions that people are taking that are helping, uh, to reduce those emissions and direct finance to those who need that additional support to reduce their emissions. [00:05:00] Vasco Van Roosmalen: And so that's also why Reseed was founded because when we look at the carbon markets of the last 20 years Uh, theuniversity of Berkeley found that fewer than or less than one percent of all carbon credits generated up until now Have actually come from the agricultural space. And that means that we haven't been able to use this mechanism to drive finance to help farmers both to maintain their carbon stocks and to maintain their actions that are driving the sequestration and removal of carbon, as well as helping them finance what they need to do [00:05:32] Vasco Van Roosmalen: to reduce their emissions. And so that is why we found that receipt to really focus on building that bridge and helping farmers access the financing that they need so that they can stay on their lands. They can maintain their regenerative and organic practices and maintain their their activities as well. [00:05:51] Vasco Van Roosmalen: Was drive additional finance that's necessary, uh, to help them decarbonize. [00:05:55] Sharon Idahosa: Thank you for sharing. Thank you for sharing. So I got an insight into a case study where both your organizations are collaborating to supplement, um, Brazilian across, um, cocoa farming. I mean, trying to help the Brazilian cocoa farmers [00:06:11] Sharon Idahosa: with your income through carbon credits. So do you mind elaborating more on this? What role did your organizations play to support this project? Let's hear from you Vasco, please. [00:06:21] Vasco Van Roosmalen: Thank you, Sharon. So yes, so both ReSeed and FoodchainID started a partnership with a Brazilian chocolate company that's called Dengo that has a really high level of involvement in supporting their cocoa producers. [00:06:36] Vasco Van Roosmalen: Uh, to help them measure and also drive again, climate finance, carbon finance to support these farmers, most of whom are smallholder farmers. So when we looked at, at what was going on in the supply chain, over 75 percent of, uh, the farmers in these cacao supply chains of this in the chocolate industry, they are smallholder farmers, and the vast majority of them live on less than a living income. [00:07:01] Vasco Van Roosmalen: And yet, when you're looking also, uh, as in many other countries, many of these farmers actually farm in a way that they're protecting forests. Uh, so in Bahia, you have, uh, In Brazil, uh, the farmers are the response. The cocoa farmers are responsible for maintaining the last remnants of the Atlantic forest in that region of Brazil as they plant the cacao trees under the shade of the larger tree. [00:07:23] Vasco Van Roosmalen: And this way of working this way of growing and making the forest productive while protecting the forest is something that is a really beneficial to all of us as we are looking to reduce deforestation. And so we want to be able to recognize that. And so, ReSeed and foodChainID have worked together and currently we we are working with the farmers in that region to be able to recognize the fact that they are protecting this forest as well as helping them increase the amount of Um, of additional carbon that they can draw down both by improving the soils and that's what's [00:08:00] one of the identified needs by the farmers themselves is how do we increase our yields? [00:08:05] Vasco Van Roosmalen: How do we increase the product? Our productivity of our soils and the health of our souls? And that is a key factor. And that's where, where Dr. Emily is actually, uh, the expert. And so that way we are able to drive finance to these farmers. And at this point, we are able to increase these farmers income between 30 and 50 percent from their current incomes based on bringing in this carbon. [00:08:29] Vasco Van Roosmalen: Finance, which recognizes their protection activities of their carbon stocks and their shoals and forests, as well as supporting them with those additional action. And that's been a key point. And as, as we know, in the cacao sector, uh, over this, uh, the last few months, there's been a tremendous upheaval, right? [00:08:47] Vasco Van Roosmalen: With less supply, uh, prices have gone, uh, to record highs. And there is this. Definitely this instability in the supply, and we need this additional investment to those people who actually are sustaining our entire chocolate industry, which are in the vast majority are smallholder farmers, both in West Africa and in Africa, as well as in countries like Brazil. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letstalkagriculture/messageWed, 01 May 2024 - 27min - 81 - Why Farmers Should Transition to Regenerative Agriculture with Dr. Rudolf Overbeek and Charles
[00:00:00] Intro [00:00:36] Sharon Idahosa: Hey guys, welcome to another episode of our sustainability series. [00:00:41] Sharon Idahosa: It's really been an exciting and insightful time for me. I mean, I've been discussing with industry experts with a sustainability focus globally. Now, if this is your first time joining or listening, we've had about two episodes already, and you may want to go back and listen. [00:01:00] All of our episodes are available on letstalkagriculture. com [00:01:03] Sharon Idahosa: Now, this episode is exclusively sponsored by FoodChainid. So for more information, please do well to visit foodchainid.com. My name is Sharon Idahosa and I am your host. Once again, welcome to the Let's Talk Agriculture podcast show. Today, I will be discussing with two amazing personalities who will be sharing their perspective [00:01:26] Sharon Idahosa: and the work that they do on the topic of regenerative agriculture. So friends, families join me welcome Charles of Virco Group and Dr. Rudolf of Food Chain ID. Hello, gentlemen, thank you so much for joining the show today. How are you doing? [00:01:43] Ruud: Doing very fine. Thank you very much. And pleased to talk to you. [00:01:47] Sharon Idahosa: Charles. [00:01:48] Charles: I'm doing great, Sharon. Great. I'm doing great, Sharon. It's great to be here. so [00:01:51] Sharon Idahosa: Thank you so much. So I'm really excited about what we are going to learn today. And for us to get this ball rolling, I'm just going to need [00:02:00] to get your perspective on regenerative agriculture. What does it mean? What is, what is the idea behind regenerative agriculture? [00:02:09] Sharon Idahosa: Charles, maybe you can go first and then Rudolf, you can take over from Charles. [00:02:13] Charles: Okay. Thank you. Thank you for that. So over the years, um, quite recently, regenerative agriculture has become such a hot topic in the agricultural space, especially in this current times that there are issues with climate change and we're seeing the effects on what climate change is doing for us. [00:02:34] Charles: So to break it down to a simple term, regenerative agriculture from how I see it is all about farming or if you're into grazing, while solely based on regenerating the topsoil and allowing farmers to maintain crop yields, improve water retention, plants uptake, but the bottom line is increasing farm profitability and especially with how the food production currently [00:03:00] Charles: is leaning towards in terms of trends, there's a big importance on how people want to know food is being produced. So with this kind of situations, these are when regenerative agriculture comes into place because it puts a lot more focus, not just on crop, not just on crop yield, but more on strengthening the health and the vitality of the farm soil. [00:03:22] Charles: Because at the end of today, You know, once you put in these activities into your planting, you know, it helps a lot in the long term. So it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, system that is being smiled upon now globally. And even with the issues with climate change that we are even experiencing here in Nigeria, you know, it's become important that these are the methods that should be adopted. [00:03:48] Charles: in the current day and time for farming, farming practices right now. So that's it's just a short, short, short idea on what we what we coined the term or [00:04:00] believe in the term; regenerative agriculture. [00:04:02] Sharon Idahosa: Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I would have wanted to ask how well it's really been adopted here in Nigeria, but maybe we'll come to that briefly. 00:04:12] Sharon Idahosa: Let me just hear from Rudolph. So, over to you.

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 - 29min - 80 - Regenerative Agriculture: Empowering Farmers for a Sustainable Future with Tania Roa
[00:00:00] Sharon Idahosa: Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to another episode of the Sustainability Series brought to you by Let's Talk Agriculture. So we are an industry specific public relations and communications firm specializing in agriculture. So just in case you haven't explored our website to see what we have in store for you, quickly visit letstalkagriculture.com for more information. [00:00:25] Sharon Idahosa: So our previous sustainability series featured a phenomenal woman who joined us to, you know, how she's leading the change in the Cassava Valley chain. and the industry at large. Today we want to dive into another interesting episode, digging deep into regenerative agriculture. [00:00:44] Sharon Idahosa: Now the question, how can we empower farmers for a sustainable future? So, join me, welcome Tania Roa, the climate justice and wildlife advocate at Sustainable Harvest International. Hello, Tanya. How are you doing today? Thank you so much for joining the show. [00:01:01] Tania Roa: Great. Thank you so much. I'm so glad I get to talk today about Sustainable Harvest International's work. [00:01:07] Tania Roa: Um, it's going to be really exciting. I'm just glad to be here. [00:01:10] Sharon Idahosa: Great. Hopefully just relax. I mean, it's It's not just gonna be a stressful thing to just relax and let's just try to enjoy ourselves basically. So I'd like to know a little bit about you because I haven't really seen so much about you. So maybe you can tell us just a little bit about you, what you experience as a climate justice and wildlife advocate. [00:01:32] Tania Roa: Sure. So right now, I'm the communications and outreach coordinator at Sustainable Harvest International. And with Sustainable Harvest International, we're working with family farmers in Central America, um, who are transitioning to regenerative agriculture. A lot of them grew up learning conventional agriculture. [00:01:51] Tania Roa: It's just the default practice that they learned, which includes burning forests and then growing crops, um, in that burned land, but that just leads to a lot of health effects, uh, for them and for the planet. Of course, we don't want to burn forests. And so, What we do is just help them learn a new way of agriculture; regenerative agriculture that we'll be talking about. [00:02:14] Tania Roa: And so my part in that role is just sharing their stories as a communications coordinator. And it's just really exciting to see how they can really transform their lives with just a new, what seems very simple, a new practice, um, but really a profound and transformational way to better their lives and better. [00:02:38] Tania Roa: the environment that they live in. [00:02:40] Sharon Idahosa: Thank you for sharing that. So, I think it's really important that we try to create awareness around, um, climate change because so many people are still focused on burning and I really don't know who gave them the idea. I mean, I see this often. I just can't help but wonder why are you burning? [00:03:00] Sharon Idahosa: And the most annoying part of it is, yeah, it's annoying to me really because they do this during the dry season when everywhere is dry and then you start burning. What are you burning really? What? You see dust flying everywhere. And it's, it's just, it just makes the whole environment messy. And I mean, you can't really breathe in such air or something. [00:03:25] Sharon Idahosa: So, I think it's really amazing. Um, what you're doing and also helping them to, you know, change the way they have been operating over time. Hopefully we can get more people to do this because people just have a particular mindset already that this is how it should be done. And I really don't know who said we should be gone and done. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letstalkagriculture/message

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 - 33min - 76 - Addressing Gender Gaps in Agriculture with Grace Fosen
Today, we are exploring the gender gaps in agriculture and how we can empower female farmers in Nigeria. And I have just the perfect speaker for that. So with a clapping ovation, join me as I welcome our guest for today, Grace Fosin, the country director at MEDA. Now, she's one of my favorite women at the forefront of gender equality and women empowerment in Nigeria. Hi, Grace. Thank you so much for joining the Let's Talk Agriculture podcast show. I'm really excited to have you here today. Thank you. I can't wait for us to do this. Thank you, Sharon. Thank you, Sharon. The pleasure is mine. I'm happy to be here. Thank you. Thank you so much once again for joining. So I really want to make sure that you've received your blessings for the year because, I mean, we can't go and start the year without our blessings, can we? Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay. So I'd like to start with your personal experiences as a woman in the agriculture sector. I mean, I'm sure you must have had some difficulties at some point in your life. I mean, you've been through some sort of challenge through this phase of your life. I mean, considering we are in a male-dominated industry. So maybe you can share how you dealt with it. I mean, how it was like, because I know, I know, I know you know what I'm talking about, but. Of course, Sharon, you should ask me. I respect that. And as a woman in agriculture from the northern part of Nigeria, in fact, not Eastern Nigeria to be precise, it's interesting that my journey in this field, in the sector, began when I went to school. I took on that course. And just about four of us women taking the course amidst about 30-something men. You know, so it was a challenging time for us because we went to learn how to drive tractors, how to do all of these things. And for women, they're thinking, this is not something that, you know, it's a field that women should or it's not very popular, you know. But we were committed and we weathered the storm, the challenges. And we were able to come through. It's very interesting. I love the soil. For me, I'm somebody that I'm very, very passionate about farming. I'm passionate about agriculture. And so I grew from a family, a heritage of agriculture people. So that resonates with me even while I was in school. The challenges are there because basically, for everything, they prioritize men. So when it comes to agriculture, it's about giving land or imputes, whatever. Even in the course of my work that I am currently on, you see that the women actually don't get the first, you know, they are not prioritized. They don't get the first place in terms of maybe giving out land when you go to the agri-development program to secure a piece of land for the season. So you see this. These are all bottlenecks that women in agriculture face right from when they, as farmers in the field or as people who are working in the marketplace, everywhere, men are prioritized. Even though we want to talk about gender balance and all, but we still find it playing out in several places where we work. So that has been lingering. And I believe it's getting better, but we haven't conquered it all. Yeah. Thank you for sharing that. I am very, very certain that that whole gender balance thing is something that we are still going to continue working on because whether we like it or not, they are still going to show, give that preference to men. But then it's just about having more women coming out and still playing their roles. And that's why I really admire you and appreciate you for coming out and taking up leadership roles, you know, to inspire and educate more women.

Thu, 14 Sep 2023 - 23min - 72 - The importance of agricultural education: Developing the next generation of farmers and agribusiness professionals
The importance of agricultural education can not be overlooked at this stage if we want to see a better and working agricultural system in the next few years. The key thing to do is to build the next generation of farmers and agribusiness professionals who will take up the mandate of transforming the agricultural sector in the next few years. In this podcast episode, our podcast host, Sharon Idahosa decided to address this issue. This is a wake-up call for players in this space to start taking action. [00:01 - 00:19] Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of the Let's Talk Agriculture podcast show. The podcast that connects you with the happenings and opportunities in the agricultural sector. My name is Sharon Hidahosa and I am your host. [00:19 - 00:34] And today we have an exciting topic to delve into and that is the importance of agricultural education and how it can help to shape the next generation of farmers and agribusiness professionals. [00:35 - 00:53] So guys, sit tight and let's get the ball rolling. So we already know that agriculture plays a very crucial role in our society. And when we decide to educate the next generation, or better still, the young people, it is very [00:53 - 01:12] vital for our economic growth and food production, sustainable food production, let's put it that way. But first, let's try to understand what agriculture education is all about. Now first of all, let's try to at least still know what agriculture is as well for those [01:12 - 01:32] of us that do not really have a good or a simple basic knowledge of what agriculture is. Now to me, agriculture is an art and it is also a science. It is the art and science of cultivating crops and rearing of animals for our use and also [01:32 - 01:47] for industrial purposes. So in my earlier podcast, I talked about agriculture being an art and agriculture being a science. So if you'd like to learn more about that, you can definitely check our podcast from earlier on. [01:49 - 02:06] So now when you combine education with agriculture, it simply means that you are getting a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach by that I mean you're learning from several areas of or in agriculture. [02:06 - 02:24] Now that encompasses knowledge, your skills and attitudes that are related to agriculture. So I hope this really helps. But then again, let's move over to something very interesting. What is the benefits of agriculture education? [02:24 - 02:39] Why should you really learn more about agriculture? So one of the beautiful things about agriculture is that it offers diverse opportunities for everyone who decides to delve into the sector. [02:40 - 02:56] Now when you learn more about agriculture, it helps you in different ways. One of them being that it helps you to develop practical skills. Now when you have such practical skills, I mean it equips you with hands on experience [02:56 - 03:16] in different areas in the agriculture sector. I mean we have farm machinery operations, we have soil management, we have animal husbandry and so much more. So you get hands on experience on these areas and much more when you decide to put your [03:16 - 03:36] effort into learning more about the agricultural sector, which can of course open more opportunities for you and whatever it is you decide to do at the end of the day.

Do you want to learn more? Explore our services by visiting letstalkagriculture.com. So, today's episode is quite simple. Let's talk about climate change. What are the challenges farmers are facing? What are the implications of climate change? And how can farmers really mitigate the risk involved? Now, the seasonal climate prediction for 2023 was released by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency. And I thought it would be amazing to share this piece of information to help our farmers prepare better as it relates to the rainfall, to dryness, to diseases and so many more. Lots of things that are, of course, affecting plant season, crops and the rest. So, join me as I welcome our guest for today's show, who will discuss in detail the implications of this report and how best farmers can or should mitigate the risk. Hello, Ilyasu! Thank you so much for joining the show today. How are you doing? Thank you, Sharon. I'm doing great. Hope you are too. Yeah, thank you so much. It's really a pleasure to always have you on the show because every time you come on the show, you always have something very, very amazing for the farmers. I mean, I see all of the stuff that you do and your dedication to the agricultural sector in Nigeria. So, it's always amazing to have you on the Let's Talk podcast show where you can share your insights. So, once again, thank you for joining the show. Okay, thank you very much. And like you said, I'm always happy to share my, you know, thoughts with farmers, you know, of making sure their productivity is enhanced. That's me once again. You're welcome. It's my pleasure. So, I believe that you also came across the report, very vital to the farmers. I mean, considering your work and everything that you do, it is not strange if you actually came across the report, of course, because I trust that you are always on the lookout for farmers and how best to help them, just like you said, to, you know, enhance their productivity and the rest. So, but before we get right into that, let's get started with the challenges associated with climate change. I mean, what are the challenges that farmers are facing? From your experience being on the field and working with farmers across different value chains, what can you tell us on the climate change challenges, climate challenges facing the farmers right here in Nigeria? I just want to hear from you, from your own experience working with farmers in Nigeria, what can you really point out some of the challenges that they have faced? And yeah, let's take it up from there. So, thank you once again. I think challenges of climate change are quite glaring and obvious, especially as they affect smallholder farmers in Nigeria, as well as food production in general. One of the obvious impact or challenges of climate change to farmers and agriculture is actually flood incidents, whereby climate change promote the occurrence of flood, which as well affect our farmers and our farmlands. We have seen last year how flood displaced hundreds of thousands of smallholder farmers in Nigeria, destroyed hundreds of thousands of hectares, destroyed billions worth of food and food product, and how it made farmers to actually lost all their investment. So, flooding is one of the challenges. Issue of drought also is one of the challenges. We have experienced uneven distribution of rainfall for the past five years in this country. Rainfall schedule have significantly been altered due to the drought in the Sahel region of the country. Another challenges of climate change is actually insecurity, because climate change brought about insecurity as well. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letstalkagriculture/message

Achieving food security is crucial for every one of us. Africa is blessed with abundant resources but we still struggle to feed the populace. This is the time for us to come together to change that narrative because the time is ticking. Our podcast host, Sharon Idahosa was joined by Shadrack Kubyane, the founder of eFama and Coronet Africa who is on a mission to improve Africa’s food security through technology. Transcription: Hello beautiful people. Indeed, that is one of my biggest pleasure, is always when I went to my own farm. So I think it is important to first understand what a healthy relationship with food is, for us to know what it is not. Not trying to be selfish. So, you could be your own farmer pretty soon, who knows? Trust, trust me when I tell you, there will always be challenges, there will always be risks. Seems like we have a lot in common. Welcome to the Let's Talk Agriculture podcast show. And of course, it's your favourite girl, Sharon Idahosa.

Now, I believe that we understand how crucial it is for us to achieve food security in Africa. And for us to say that we are really food secure, then we must really boast and say that at all times, the populace has the physical, economic and social access to enough food. Now, not just food, but it has to have that quality we are looking for, that nutritional value that we need to have in food for us to get good health and well-being. Now, it gets very tricky, you know. We want to be food secure in Africa, and even though we have the capacity to be food secure, there is still a drawback. And we cannot help but ask the question, how can we really boost our food system? Now, that is the reason why we are here today. Is technology the way forward? Let's find out. On this note, join me as I may welcome our guest for today's show, Shadrack Kubyane. Hey, a prominent, yes, of course, a prominent figure in the agricultural sector. Hello, Shadrack.

Sharon: Thank you so much for joining. I really appreciate you coming on the show. And of course, we are a family in this space. I mean, we have to work together to transform the agricultural sector. So what better way to do it, if not to team up and be families, neighbours you know, just to ensure that we are able to transform the agricultural sector. I like that mindset. I like it. Shadrack: Definitely, you know, there's that African proverb that it says, it takes a village to raise an African child. I think it takes many villages to feed that African child. Of course, yes, yes, Sharon: I think so too. I mean, we all have a role to play. So let's come together and start doing something. And I can see so many people coming together. And that is the reason why we have here a very prominent figure when it comes to the agricultural sector. So, of course, I'm very pleased to have you here today to share your experience with us.
