69 Thomas Rippel, checking in on land ownership, stable coins, pensions for farmers and city folks

Thomas raised over € 1M with a German CSA to buy the land under their farm. Now Thomas is looking at blockchains to help more Farmland Stewardship Organisations do the same. ----------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food.Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits here: www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Other ways to support our work:- Share the podcast - Give a 5-star rating- Or buy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture. ----------------------------------------------------------- Listen to the update interview with Thomas here:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/04/21/thomas-rippel. Observations from the podcast:A lot of speculative cash has moved into agri landWe have seen a real decoupling of productive value and the farmland priceBuying land is out of the question for most farmersFarmland is mostly bought by financial institutionsFinancial Institutions only look at the highest lease (which is usually the least sustainable farmer as he or she is not paying for all the externalities they produce. Because they mine the soil. 80% of the classmates of Thomas at the biodynamic (4,5 year study) couldn’t find land afterwards Regenerative farmers, who are good stewards of the land, can’t make those cashflows (especially at the beginning) to pay back the loans. This is one of the big drivers of industrial agricultureThomas helped Luzernenhof a German CSA farm raise over 1M.-They set up their own crowdinvesting platformOrganised events made a cool videoShares in the cooperative which owns the land Buy land and charge very low lease rates to the farmersThe shares give no dividends. Really unattractive termsLuzernenhof who has also bought land for 10 others farmers, has noticed that landowners are willing to sell for a fairer price, if they know the land is going to be used sustainably! This is a very interesting point! If regenerative farmers get a lower price for land, if this is true in other areas and countries this could be huge. Advice for impact investors wanting to get into Regenerative Agriculture:- Look at your local Farmland Stewardship Organisation and get involved- Look into your local CSA farms, they usually rely on bank loans you could refinance them, which would be cheaper for them and you get a return (compared to 0% on the bank)!Show notes and links:www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2018/04/21/thomas-rippel. ----------------------------------------------------------- For feedback, ideas, suggestions please contact us through Twitter @KoenvanSeijen, or get in touch through the website https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/courseSupport the showFeedback, ideas, suggestions? - Twitter @KoenvanSeijen - Get in touch www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.comJoin our newsletter on www.eepurl.com/cxU33P!
