How To Make Super-Intensive Farms Go Regenerative [DIMITRI TSITOS]

What if the most chemically intensive, high-density farms - systems many see as the enemy of regenerative agriculture - could actually become climate champions?In this episode of the Deep Seed Podcast, we sit down with Dimitri Tsitos, co-founder of AgroSystemic, to explore how Mediterranean super-intensive olive, almond, and citrus orchards can regenerate degraded soils, restore biodiversity, boost resilience, and improve long-term farm profitability - all without sacrificing yield.Dimitri shares hard-won insights from years of trial, failure, and success in transitioning conventional, input-heavy orchards into regenerative, climate-smart systems. Whether you’re a farmer, agronomist, orchard manager, sustainability consultant, investor, policymaker, or simply passionate about the future of food and climate solutions, this conversation offers a roadmap you won’t find anywhere else.🎧 By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why even the most intensive systems may have no choice but to go regenerative and how small, targeted changes in soil and plant management can transform productivity, resilience, and ecosystem health.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯What You’ll Learn in This Episode🌳 How super-intensive Mediterranean orchards (2000+ trees per hectare) can transition to regenerative models🌳 Practical cover crop strategies for olive oil, almond, and citrus production🌳 Compost, mulching, and biomass management for soil regeneration🌳 How to balance productivity, profitability, and resilience under climate pressure🌳 The economics of regenerative transitions: cutting input costs while boosting long-term performance 🌳 How to use biodiversity strips, hedgerows, and landscape design to deliver agronomic services⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Who Should Listen✅ Olive, almond, and citrus growers✅ Conventional farmers curious about regenerative agriculture✅ Agronomists, soil scientists, and orchard advisors✅ Agricultural investors and sustainability consultants✅ Policymakers shaping the future of climate-resilient agriculture✅ Anyone passionate about regenerative systems, biodiversity restoration, and nature-based solutions⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯This podcast was produced in partnership with Soil Capital, a company that supports #regenerativeagriculture by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health & biodiversity.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Useful links: Agrosystemic - https://www.agrosystemic.com/Dimitri Tsitos - LinkedinHosted by Ausha.
