In this Deep Roots Radio interview, engineer and social-justice advocate Julien Roberge describes the 2015 launch and future direction of Agrilliance, a global web platform and project of Sustainability Innovation & Strategy, an organization he co-founded in Quebec, Canada.
According to its website, Agrilliance aims to transform “the landscape of food supply and demand by making it local – globally.
“We are developing a range of solutions with that intent and our first initiative comes in the form of a web platform that facilitates connections between consumers and food producers. By building trust between customers and suppliers, we aim to strengthen local quality food access.

“Much more than a farmer-to-consumer directory, Roberge says the aim is to develop a rich resource for access to increased biodiversity in crops and livestock, climate data and producer networking. The focus is on good healthful foods produced locally: revived food independence, food security.

In this Deep Roots Radio interview, John Jeavons describes how biointensive gardening and farming is being used to increase yields, restore soils at unprecedented rates, cut water consumption by two-thirds and yield net income.
Jeavons in author of “How to Grow More Vegetables* on less land than you can imagine”. Now in its eighth printing and with over 500,000 sold, the principles described are at work in 151 countries worldwide.
Why so popular? Because Jeavon’s approach – GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming – addresses real needs with a real solution: more food for a growing population, soils restored so that they can grow more food, soil composition improved to hold and store water much more efficiently, ways to build compost up to 60X faster than nature, and the ability to earn a net income that’ll support a family.
I hope you enjoy – and will share – this podcast.
