Soil as an Asset Class
Centering science, stewardship, and the farmer’s voice

As soil emerges on the radar of global markets and sustainability metrics, this keynote reframes it not just as a carbon sink or yield substrate — but as a living, multifunctional asset. It challenges us to go beyond measurement and toward meaning: recognizing that true soil health cannot be divorced from the people who steward it. Blending scientific rigor with the lived wisdom of farmers, this talk explores how epistemic humility, systems thinking, and inclusive research can shape a regenerative future — one where soil is valued, not just valued at.
