Episode von DLG-Podcast von DLG e.V. · 1. September 2026 · 43 min

How can regenerative agriculture, climate action and the empowerment of women help make food systems more resilient and fit for the future? Hosts Jana Sondermann (DLG) and Nathalie Joest (DLG) discuss this with Mary Johnson, founder and CEO of Regenerative Farms, Inc. and winner of the 2025 Women in Ag Award in the Farming category.

For more than 30 years, Mary Johnson has been committed to empowering rural communities, restoring ecosystems and advancing women in agriculture. In the podcast, she explains what regenerative agriculture means to her, how her Regeneration Hub model works in practice and why women play a key role in food security, climate adaptation and sustainable development.

The episode also explores the challenges women around the world face in agriculture, from limited access to land, finance and education to a lack of visibility and decision-making power. Mary shares personal experiences from her international work and talks about the changes she hopes to see for the next generation.
