Rethinking Carbon Offsets Through Farmers, Equity, and Climate Justice with Micheal Jones

Agriculture is often at the heart of climate conversations, but not always at the center of climate solutions. Farmers, especially smallholders, carry the heaviest weight of climate shocks while decisions are made far away from their fields. In this episode of the Let’s Talk Agriculture Podcast, Sharon sits down with Michael Jones, Co-Founder and Lead Architect at AgroReGenerations, to explore what it really means to put farmers first in the fight for climate justice. Michael shares his journey from city life to co-founding a global initiative spanning East Africa and Indonesia, and why inclusion, equity, and transparency must be at the core of climate action. Together, we unpack: Why “farmers first” is more than a slogan and what it looks like in practice The tension between climate justice and carbon offsets How AgroReGenerations is redefining offsets and avoiding greenwashing The role of multiple SDGs in creating a holistic path to resilience A vision for an inclusive, climate-smart agricultural future If you care about equity, climate justice, and building resilience for the farmers who sustain us all, this episode is a must-listen.   About LTA Studio This podcast is proudly produced by LTA Studio, the media and production arm of Let’s Talk Agriculture LLC.
