Your Story | I was a plant pathologist for 30 years with the International Potato Center, spending most of my time in Latin America. I retired in 2017, but have since become very interested in regenerative agriculture and now participate in a small development project in Ecuador. I live in France but work remotely and spend 2-3 months a year in Ecuador. I’m most interested in finding management practices for small farmers that will regenerate soils but also improve profitability to make farming a possibility for young people in Ecuador. |
