Incredible to chat with Erika, based in Singapore, we discussed all things regenerative small holdings and future plans. Erika is a purpose-driven thought leader in agriculture, ex-corporate marketeer, entrepreneur, and consultant. With over 20 years of experience in agriculture, she worked in corporates, NGOs, governments, consultancy, and start-ups. Erika holds an MBA (Netherlands) and an MPA from Harvard University.
Erika has worked across Europe, Africa, and Asia developing and implementing impactful projects in climate-smart agriculture focusing on smallholder farmers.
Mid 2021 Erika founded The Sustainable Smallholder, an expert platform for thought leadership, advisory, and training. The platform works with the private sector, social enterprises, and start-ups to help transition to sustainable, profitable, innovative agriculture models.
The Sustainable Smallholder’s fundamental belief is that the risk for smallholders to change is too high; unless we deeply listen to them and co-create sustainable solutions and implementation models with them, the adoption rates will remain low.
In parallel Erika also serves on the Board of Advisors for many other social enterprise start-ups.
