Episode 136: Working With Unique Climate Conditions with Frederik Larsen

Regenerative Agriculture Podcast

Frederik Larsen is a Danish agronomist who assists farmers in Denmark and Eastern Europe to transition toward no-till systems, cover cropping, and diverse crop rotations. Frederik also practices what he preaches on his family farm, using it as a testing ground for innovative practices like relay planting and companion planting.

His work focuses on maximizing sunlight capture, increasing biomass, and enhancing soil carbon cycling in Denmark's climate, characterized by short growing seasons and limited winter sunlight.

In this episode, John and Frederik discuss:

• Implementing relay planting for short growing seasons

• Using cover crops to improve nutrient availability for spring planting

• The benefits of applying nitrogen both early in the season and later via foliar feeding

• Innovative companion planting techniques

• Ecosystem benefits and the overall value of alfalfa forage
