22: Organic vs Regenerative vs Small-Scale Agriculture – What's The Difference? | JM Fortier

In this solo episode, Jean-Martin Fortier dives into the evolving landscape of sustainable farming, exploring the differences and connections between organic, regenerative, and small-scale agriculture. He highlights the importance of maintaining organic certification to ensure transparency and accountability while addressing concerns about greenwashing in the regenerative movement. JM emphasizes the need for localized, decentralized farming systems rooted in healthy soils and human-scale operations, advocating for unity within the movement to combat the challenges posed by industrialized agriculture.

If this episode inspires you to rethink the possibilities of small-scale farming, we invite you to take it a step further. From January 14 to 16, join our FREE and LIVE workshop Money Talks where we’ll dive into the numbers behind real farms. This practical and inspiring event will show how small farms can be both a solution and a profitable path forward.
