Pokhara, Gandaki Province, Nepal

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

Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

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

I'm an interested student and I wish to learn more about our economy and how we can shape it to be more sustainable for our future.
