Abandoned buildings & farmland innovation for successful, sustainable business - Thomas Kloepfer
Ever wondered about taking over abandoned farmland in Japan as well as old, abandoned houses to recreate it?
Thomas Kloepfer is always inspiring and in this talk he explains his philosophy for no-till farming as well as how he thinks about running a sustainable business.
We start the talk at his latest project Shikiji - to pull from the land- which he has exciting plans for and is steadily making progress each time I visit. Then we go over to his farmlands and he talks about the various issues of running a natural, regenerative farm in Japan.
