Ms. Carola von Schenk
This submission draws on our operational experience in transitioning a conventional crop and cattle farm in the south of Chile to regenerative organic livestock management, organic vegetable gardening, native tree reforestation and regenertaive bee-keeping and in our commercial experience in launching a significant Chilean regenerative meat brand so as to raise broader public awareness of regenerative farming.
I represent a regenerative organic cattle farm in the south of Chile that includes a native tree reforestation and regenerative bee-keeping project and engages in data collection and academic/scientific research collaboration with Chilean universities relating to the transition from conventional to regenerative farming practices and relating to training of the next generation of regenerative farmers. I also represent its commercial sister company that produces and commercialises via its own regenerative meat brand our farm animals' meat.
Both companies have the goal of promoting regenerative agriculture in the context of sustainable food systems, climate change mitigation and adaptation. We work to contribute to the UN SDGs.
Thank you very much for your interest.
