The Top 50 Farmers initiative by Foodprint Nordic spotlights and empowers pioneering and innovative farmers across Europe - farmers driving the transition of agriculture through regenerative methods. Cindie Christiansen, founder of Foodprint Nordic and co-initiator of Top 50 Farmers, is dedicated to celebrating the role models of regenerative farming and empowering these farmers to build resilient businesses and inspiring the next generation.

Representing Switzerland in this inspiring network are exceptional farmers Matthias Hollenstein and Marcel Heinrich. Alongside Portuguese farmer David de Brito, they represent the next generation of farmers showcasing how modern European agriculture can drive the changes that are urgently needed and how farming can be the solution to some of the most pressing challenges of today.

In the panel discussion, they explore why greater visibility for farmers is essential for the transition to sustainable and regenerative farming practices. They will also discuss how their work inspires others and opens up new avenues for profitable, resilient and future-ready agriculture.

This event is presented in collaboration with Regenerativ Schweiz.
