Av Singh

Av Singh is internationally recognised as one of the leading voices for organic and regenerative agriculture. His career began at the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada, where he was responsible for research and consulting in organic and small-scale farming for over 15 years before taking on the Just Us! chair for sustainability in small-scale agriculture in Nova Scotia.

His wise approach is to combine traditional knowledge systems with modern science to develop sustainable solutions for the agriculture of tomorrow. He is a pioneer in regenerative organic cannabis cultivation in particular and is involved in projects on six continents. Over 200 scientific publications, more than 600 lectures worldwide and his teaching activities at over 30 universities make him one of the most sought-after experts for holistic approaches in agriculture.

Today, Av is Executive Director of the Scotian Cannabis Alliance and Chief Scientific Officer at Adonis Living Soils. He also advises companies in over 20 countries - from Colombia to Zimbabwe - on the development of innovative, regenerative cultivation systems. His multi-award-winning „Living Soil“ recipes show how organic farming can not only be sustainable, but also fit for the future.

As a faculty member of Earth University (Navdanya) in India, he teaches agroecology and organic farming and passes on his knowledge to the next generation. His experiences from over 2500 farm visits worldwide illustrate that true transformation comes from the combination of science, wisdom and regenerative practices.

While studying at Earth University, Markus took the opportunity to record two interviews with Dr Av Singh. One on the role of soil and soil biology in the health of plants and their consumers and one on cannabis rights.
