Transformative sessions that spark ideas, ignite discussions and drive change

Enhancing Nutrient Density and Ecosystem Function: The Future of Sustainable Agriculture

This keynote would explore how agricultural practices can be transformed to produce more nutrient-rich food while simultaneously improving the health and functionality of the surrounding ecosystem. It would delve into the interconnectedness of soil health, plant nutrition, and overall environmental balance, and discuss innovative strategies and technologies that farmers and agricultural businesses can implement to achieve these goals.

Designing Synergistic Agricultural Systems for a Healthier Planet

This talk would focus on the principles of designing agricultural systems that mimic natural ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of synergy between different components. Josef would discuss how to integrate various elements like crop diversity, livestock management, and soil management techniques to create resilient and productive systems that minimize negative environmental impacts and promote ecological harmony.

From Soil to Supper: The Critical Link Between Ecosystem Health and Food Quality

This keynote would highlight the direct relationship between the health of our ecosystems, particularly soil health, and the nutritional quality of the food we consume. Josef would explain how depleted soils lead to less nutritious food and how regenerative agricultural practices can restore this vital connection, resulting in healthier food and healthier people.

Farming with Nature: Practical Strategies for Regenerating Agricultural Ecosystems

This presentation would offer concrete, actionable strategies for farmers and agricultural practitioners to adopt regenerative practices. Josef would likely cover specific techniques such as no-till farming, cover cropping, rotational grazing, and composting, explaining how these methods can improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and enhance the overall resilience of agricultural ecosystems.

Agroforestry - Practical Applications and Real-World Challenges

This keynote explores the integration of trees and shrubs into farming systems to enhance ecological function and agricultural productivity. Josef would cover the benefits of agroforestry, including improved soil health, carbon sequestration, and habitat creation. He would also discuss practical applications, such as alley cropping, forest farming, and silvopasture, and address the challenges and considerations for successful implementation. This would also include sharing insights from his real-world proof of concept project which is currently in progress in Sweden.

”Josef is a fantastic storyteller, incredibly knowledgeable in all things to do with trees, soil health, compost and nature.”
