“Agriculture at the moment faces incredible challenges. The industrialization of agriculture has been the biggest disaster… more and more farmers are taking up organic and biodynamic systems simply because they work, they are profitable, they are resilient.” Hear more from our International Director, Andre Leu https://lnkd.in/g_YgNr-n

Regeneration International reposted this
I love wool, especially merino wool and I am slowly replacing my entire wardrobe with it. So when I saw the video below, my first instinct was, I love it. At the same time, I also know that many farmers who have sheep do not even sell their wool anymore and use it instead as fertilizer or for their seeds as an initial nutrition boost. Alastair Trickett recently shared that the raw wool off his ewes is valued at £0.40 per kilogram. Once made into a sweater sold on the high street, it is valued at £180 per kilogram: that’s a 500g wool sweater with a £90 RRP. This means the farmer sees 0.2% of the product value, a product made almost entirely of wool from their farm or others like theirs. 0.2%, that is f*cked up. So I went to the website of The Woolmark Company, who made this video and I tried to find out how much they pay the farmers they work with. The website is beautiful and they also talk about some of their woolgrowers on it, which is a good start, but I could not find anything about the kilo price they pay to these farmers. So I figured, let's make this post and see if they will react. Yes, wool is amazing, and sheep have an incredible potential to regenerate ecosystems if managed well, but let's ensure we also reward the person stewarding that ecosystem fairly. If you know anything else about this or about any organization that pays its farmers fairly for their wool, I would love to hear from you. I buy most of my wool clothes from Sheep Inc., and while I love their dedication to regenerative agriculture and to traceability, I could also not find how much they pay their farmers, let's see if they react.

Please join us for the 4th annual People’s Food Summit on October 16, 2024! The People’s Food Summit is a truly participatory free online summit that empowers the majority of the world's food producers: the small-holder family farmers, pastoralists, and foresters who produce 70% of the food we eat. We will present the proven, farmer-based, real-world examples that are the future of our food and farming systems, including agroecology, organic and regenerative farming, permaculture, agroforestry, holistically managed grazing and many other systems. We hope to see you there! Learn more and register for a reminder: https://lnkd.in/g9_wSAzT
