My name is Frédéric Lodewyk . I am 58 years old and the proud father of Alexandre and Emma. I was not born into the agricultural sector. On the contrary, I would never have imagined myself taking care of a farm and being passionate about agriculture!

After classical management studies, I worked in consulting, finance and then technology. The sale of my company in 2020 allowed me to choose a new life . I have always been interested in food and health. But it was while watching the documentary Kiss the Ground that I discovered regenerative agriculture . A real awakening. I understood the link between life in the soil, the health of plants, that of animals and our health .

Having an impact on our health and that of our children, increasing biodiversity, regenerating rainwater cycles... it didn't take much more for me to become madly passionate about regenerative agriculture.

First, I researched every book written on the subject. Those by Gabe Brown and Nicole Masters served as my bible.

It was in April 2022 that I decided to "take the plunge" by taking over an abandoned olive grove in the mountains north of Cordoba .

Of course, there are difficult times—especially during periods of drought. And things never change as quickly as we would like. But every day, I am amazed by how nature works and the role we can play in contributing to the common good .

As Ernst Götsch says, we are not "the" intelligent beings. We are part of an intelligent system .
