My roots are on the farm, bare hands in soil, learning not just how to grow food, but how life connects through roots, rituals, and resilience. From those early days in rural Nepal, my journey has carried me across continents, disciplines, and failures, all in search of one thing: a more regenerative way to feed the world. Today, I build regenerative food systems from the ground up, literally. Blending traditional farming wisdom with tools like Web3, Regenerative Finance (ReFi), and carbon markets, I work to reimagine agriculture from farm to fork. That means creating value for smallholder farmers, restoring the soil, redesigning food supply chains, and helping communities take ownership of their food futures. I've failed. I've trusted and been broken. I’ve seen my crops swept away by floods and hailstones. But every time, I return to the soil, wiser, stronger, more committed to serving not just as an innovator, but as a steward. I believe in building ecosystems, not just ventures. Through platforms like Bhumi Sewa Networks and Sarvaguna Foods and Kitchen I focus on circular models, biochar-based soil regeneration, and incentive systems that reward farmers as climate champions. If you care about systems change, regenerative economies, or creating value that’s both ethical and ecological—let’s connect. 🌍 Website: www.madanpoudel.com.np 🔗 Linktree: linktr.ee/mdnpoudel 📬 Open to: Collaborations, regenerative pilots, ecosystem design, speaking, consulting

I believe in the Doughnut Economics model because it offers not only a powerful visual but also a strong framework for a future economy that stays within planetary boundaries while ensuring a good life for all. I’m part of the Swiss Doughnut Economics Core Team and support the organisation in bringing Switzerland into the Doughnut — and the Doughnut into Switzerland. Happy to exchange and collaborate with you!

I am interested in ensuring the future of life on Earth, not just survival but thriving. The model really resonated with me. I have questions about and and what that looks like in the business world.

Hi, I am a theoretical physicist turned tech product and business expert. I have always been fascinated with Economics. What I learned during my MBA now seems out of touch with the real world. Wealth creation used to depend upon physical objects; land, gold, oil, minerals etc. which were all finite, also the marginal cost of production was never zero. Both these fundamental assumptions and "truths" do not hold now. We need new economics and the concept of Donut Economics is extremely interesting
