For episode 91 of Sourcing Matters we welcome Benedikt Bösel,
the Managing Director and Proprietor of Schlossgut Alt Madlitz in
Brandenburg, Germany.
Through regenerative food production and forestry management;
through hunting excursions and land stewardship initiatives;
through a royal bed & breakfast and restaurant – Bösel offers
patrons a unique experience dedicated to capturing and sharing the
vitality found in nature’s systems. Since Benedikt has taken
the reins of this 7500 acre estate located 1 hour east of Berlin –
it’s become an Agtech innovation hot-bed, and an epicenter for
testing / implementing Regenerative Natural Resource Management at
scale.
What we learn in this 45 minute discussion is that Benedikt Bösel
is diversifying and innovating on his family’s iconic German estate
through investing in the future. A regenerative future which
marries and harmonizes with natural systems for maximum benefit to
us, to the planet and to all of its co-inhabitants.
Joining in on the conversation is good friend of the show Renée
Vassilos, a Dutch-American Agricultural Economist who has spent
over fifteen years in the production agriculture space. Her
work experience includes time spent with the USDA, she has started
her own consultancy to help investors and Agtech companies, she
spent nearly a decade with John Deere; much of that time in
Beijing. Renée has recently joined The Nature Conservancy as
their Agriculture Innovation Director. She’ll manage TNC’s
investments in early stage agtech companies that will support
regenerative agriculture production – at scale.
TuneIn to hear more about what regenerative really looks like. Both
the opportunities and the challenges. Hear how when empowered to be
better stewards of the land, we can tackle many of the biggest
problems facing us in generations to come. Benedikt and Renée are
our future, TuneIn to hear their positive POV on what’s in
store.
