episode 7: #7 Creating regenerative supply chains based on multi strata agroforestry with Ryan Zinn from Dr. Bronner's
In this episode, we have the pleasure to talk with Ryan Zinn from the company Dr Bronner. We explore with him how they are using multistrata agroforestry to transform their supply chains in order to increase their resilience and the improve the livelihood of the farmers they work with. We are able to understand why such a company is investing in regenerative agroforestry and what it takes for them to transform their supply chains. We go into some practical details such as the challenges that come with diversifying production on smallholdings and the key role of infrastructure to make it work. If you want to understand how forward thinking companies can be partners for driving forward agroforestry or if you're just curious to understand some of the stakes of agroforestry in the context of smallholders in the tropics, this episode is for you!
