Using certification to open the door to international markets

The regenagri podcast explores the future of farming and the hot topics surrounding the global movement of regenerative agriculture, with industry experts.
In the tenth episode, Harry Farnsworth, sustainable agriculture projects lead at Control Union UK, delves into the problems faced by small-scale producers when accessing international markets.
He is joined by Bobbie Garbutt, who brings two perspectives to the conversation. Bobbie’s family grow nutmeg and cocoa on L’Esterre Estate in Granada, using regenerative farming methods. The farm was the second on the island to achieve organic certified status, which enables them to receive a higher price for their exported produce.
Bobbie is also a sales associate at Ethiopian agribusiness, Greenpath Food, which supplies regeneratively grown fresh produce from small-scale East African farms to businesses across the world. She shares how certification has supported the route to market for Greenpath Food producers, and the impact it has had.
