About us

We are farm managers. We partner with visionary farmers, disruptive organisations and patient investors to scale regenerative agriculture. Regenerative farming restores the natural fertility of agroecosystems and captures more carbon than it emits. It produces nutrient-dense food, clean water and abundant biodiversity. It integrates agroecological practices such as conservation agriculture, organic farming, agroforestry, permaculture and holistic livestock management. In our work, healthy soil is the single most important driver in increasing farm productivity, reducing risk in operations and protecting profitability. Living soils and functioning ecosystems work to retain water and provide nutrients to plants. This builds profitable farms and improves asset value in the long run. We get involved at farm level to improve operational, financial and environmental performance. We engage with farmers, corporates, investment groups and governments to deliver better economic performance and meaningful environmental impact. Farm Management Services: - Transition to regenerative agriculture - Farm operational and technical analysis - Hands-on management of operations - Budget monitoring and cost analysis - Decision support tool implementation - Team capacity building Investment opportunities: - Investment strategy and business planning - Due diligence & feasibility study - Restructuring and special situations Since 2015, we've had management and advisory responsibilities in more than 50 farms worldwide (185,000 Ha in 22 countries) and with more than 25 types of crop or livestock production.

    Aromatic crops are quietly becoming one of the signature features of our Belgian fields: parsley, mint, basil, coriander, thyme… and now lovage! Lovage (also called perennial celery) is especially exciting. It’s a powerhouse aromatic valued for its intense essential oils — not only in the leaves, but also in the roots. A small crop, but with big potential for high-value food, pharma and flavour applications. And it’s also the perfect playground for agronomic innovation! Right now, we’re trialling different living-cover mixtures — clover, ryegrass, alfalfa — interplanted between the lovage rows. The goal is simple: keep soil covered 365 days a year and let biology do the heavy lifting. What this delivers on the ground: 🌱 Less erosion and surface runoff 🌱 Active nutrient recycling 🌱 Stronger, deeper soil structure 🌱 Natural weed suppression Aromatic crops bring the diversity. Smart cover-crop systems bring the resilience. The combination is turning these plots into small but powerful regenerative engines. Guillaume Sneessens Thomas Goodman Océane Rennotte Tasia D.

    We obsess over cereal yield per hectare. 🌾 But here’s the twist: sometimes a lower yield actually signals a higher-performing system. Sounds wrong? Only because we almost never talk about the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER). Most decisions still hinge on a single question: “How many tonnes did we get?” It’s simple, comparable, and easy to discuss at the co-op. But in regenerative transitions, this narrow metric can be misleading. Take a barley–clover system: Maybe the barley yields drop by 5–10%. Most people stop there and say, “See? RegenAg isn’t productive.” But they ignore what the clover brings:🍀 ✦ Free N fixation (often 80–120 kg N/ha) ✦ Better soil structure & infiltration ✦ Weed suppression ✦ Higher total biomass ✦ Lower input costs And, you can still harvest clover as seeds or forage after the barley.💡 LER compares the productivity of an intercrop to the same crops grown separately as monocultures. Run the numbers properly and things flip: 👉 Barley–clover systems often hit an LER of 1.1 to 1.3 Meaning you’d need 10–30% more land under monoculture to match the same output. That’s real efficiency. Real margins. Real resilience. So let’s shift the conversation from: ❌ “Yield per crop” to ✅ “Output per hectare, as a system.” LER gives that clarity. Companion cropping proves it in the field. And that’s exactly what we dig into on the latest episode of The Deep Seed Podcast with the great Raphael Esterhazy: why diversified systems outperform monocultures once you look at the whole hectare, not just the grain cart. In regenerative agriculture, the winners aren’t the farms chasing the highest single-crop yield. They’re the ones making every hectare work smarter, not harder. 👨🌾 If you want a metric that reflects that reality, start with LER. ⎯ Listen now to this episode, available on all streaming platforms and in video format on Youtube 🎧 Made in partnership with Soil Capital and Soil Capital Farming

    Can we feed the world with regenerative agriculture? Can it be more profitable than conventional systems? I can't believe people are still asking these questions at conferences about the future of farming and food... In our latest episode, Thomas Lecomte from Soil Capital Farming explains very clearly why the answer to these 2 questions is of course a resounding YES. BUT, this title is only the tree hiding the forest 🌳 In this 77 min conversation, we discuss much, much more... including: 🔁 Why 10-year crop rotations are a powerful tool for resilience 🐄 How holistic grazing improves both the farm's ecology & economy 🌱 The true role of cover crops in reducing costs and building life ⚖️ How to manage complexity (complex ≠ complicated) 💸 Why “tech without soil health” is a one-way ticket to another dead end About the economics of reducing tillage: “You can save 100€ per hectare… and reinvest it into seeds for cover crops. You can do a LOT with 100€.” 👨🌾 In conclusion: Thomas brings real numbers, hard-won lessons, and the kind of grounded, no-bullshit clarity that we need more of in this space. ⎯ Listen now to this episode, available on all streaming platforms and in video format on Youtube 🎧 Made in partnership with Soil Capital ❤️ With care, Raphael Esterhazy

    There is a massive farming issue no one’s talking about: Farmland investment funds are projected to reach about $60 billion in 2025… but there’s no one qualified to actually run the farms. This gap is widening every year: farmers are retiring and there are fewer trained replacements. And yet there’s a growing investor interest in regenerative agriculture. The result: Underutilised land with SO much potential for the planet, communities, investors and farmers. 🧑🌾 While most consultants sell only the design and regenerative strategy, the ESG framework or the derailed to-do list, it’s not what investors actually need. What they really need is someone to operate the land, share success and risk while making it productive with regenerative outcomes. → Someone who is ready to put skin in the game, and turn the plans into reality. That’s why at Soil Capital Farming we developed the farming version of SaaS. Let’s call it… FaaS: Farming as a Service 🌱 We take a step beyond designing the farm systems and help operate them. Here's how it works: ✅ We design the transition plan, manage the operations and deliver measurable regenerative outcomes. ✅ You keep your investment. We make it productive. ✅ You get the ESG metrics and proof points you need. Why this matters now: There are very few people on Earth who know how to run regenerative operations at scale.🌍 That's not a problem for us… it's what we've been doing for 20 years across three continents. ✦ For investors: Access to genuine regenerative assets without becoming a farmer overnight. ✦ For the land: The attention it really deserves. ✦ For us: We get to build resilient food systems while working directly with the land. The future of agricultural investment is operational partnerships.🤝 P.S. Are you an investor looking for regenerative farmland operations? DM me with some of the problems you’re facing!

    Everyone talks about "the dip” which scares most people away from regenerative agriculture. This is the inevitable drop in profitability when transitioning to regenerative agriculture. They think it means years of financial pain before things improve. This graph shows two different paths: ✦ Blue curve (conventional thinking): Massive performance dip after initial investment. Years of losses. Eventually, maybe, you climb back up. ⤴️ ✦ Green line (our approach): Steady improvement from year one. 🌱 Here's the difference: The blue curve assumes you change everything overnight and take on massive risk. While watching profits plummet while you learn. Which is terrifying. The green line is gradual change. Incremental adjustments that maintain profitability while building soil health, reducing input costs, and improving yields over time. This is what we mean by "no J-curve." You don't have to choose between profitability and regeneration. You don't have to lose money for years hoping biology will save you. At Soil Capital Farming, every farm we work with follows the green line: Profitable from year one, increasingly profitable over time. The choice is between smart business and wishful thinking. If you're a farm manager or investor who wants regeneration without the financial gamble, let's talk. We've guided farms across three continents through profitable transitions. 👨🏼🌾 Comment "green line" below or send me a message to discuss your operation.

    This week we bring some fresh updates from Belgium 🇧🇪 ☝🏼🌿 We’ve just planted mint joining an aromatic rotation with lovage, parsley, basil & thyme... and we are so excited! ✔️ Perennial crop (~4 years), with 3–4 harvests per season ✔️ Builds deep root systems → stronger soils over time ✔️ Brings more diversity to the rotation ✔️ Supports pollinators & local biodiversity ✔️ Opens the door to alternative markets and niche value chains And honestly… the fields smell amazing! ✌🏼🌻 Cover crops are showing strong results We trialed a summer multi-species mix of phacelia, sunflower & mustard. Despite just 20 mm of rain, it still produced 8 tons of dry matter per hectare! 🚜 Rolled with the crimper in August, residues disappeared fast, feeding biology and preparing soils for the next crop. 🔜✉️ For more updates from the fields, join our newsletter!

    Last week, part of our team travelled to Bahía 🇧🇷 in Brazil’s MATOPIBA region, to explore new opportunities and strengthen our presence in Latin America. Between endless fields, conversations on the ground and fresh perspectives, this farmland assessment gave us a deeper sense of the challenges and potential that lie ahead. We can’t reveal all the details (yet 😉), but we can say this: moments like these remind us why we do what we do... bringing together people, landscapes and data to design thriving farms and ecosystems 🌿 Thomas Lecomte Agustina Tato

    "You can't build soil health with wishful thinking"

    If you have land, you need to plan 10 years ahead (not one). That’s what this mystery graph shows. This picture is from Uruguay a few months ago. That's Francisco, our colleague, showing local landowners why their short-term thinking is killing their profitability. What you're looking at: A crop rotation calendar that most farmers would call "overthinking." Every colour represents a different crop or cover crop sequence mapped across a decade. Not next season. Not even next year. Ten years. Why everyone thinks we're crazy: "Just plant maize next year, then we'll see what happens." Why they're wrong: You can't build soil health with wishful thinking. Real diversity takes 7-10 year cycles to show results. And even if one has to remain flexible and opportunistic according to climatic and market conditions, long-term planning remains essential. Here's what happens when we pull out these maps: Even standing in the rain, we end up in hour-long debates: Landowners may argue about sequences, farm managers may challenge rotations, most may question the complexity. Because suddenly they see the real equation: 🔑 ✦ Agronomical decisions (soil fertility, weed pressure) ✦ Market decisions (profitability varies by crop) ✦ Climate considerations (irrigation vs rain-fed) ✦ Botanical diversity (resilience factor) The breakthrough moment: When they realise the most diverse rotations create the most economically stable operations. You're not betting everything on one crop – You're playing multiple options across time. That’s resiliency. 🌱 And that’s what we do at Soil Capital Farming.
