Future Food with Analisa Winther

In December 2025, I was asked to speak in front of 400 women working on the future of food. I knew this moment was significant, but it wasn't until I was in the moment that I realized this was a culmination of a vision I had been holding for 12 years!!

In this episode, I take you into the vision and into the process of preparing for the stage including the fears I had to battle, the moments of synchronicity, and the lessons learned.

A few years back, I adopted a new tradition. Instead of making a resolution, I set an intention for the year by choosing one word that encompasses what I wanted to create more of.
This instantly made me feel like the CEO of my life. I set the direction and made aligned decisions that fit my dreams.
In 2023, my word was GLOBAL and in 2025, it was RECEIVE. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my life and leadership to share how my year unfolded.
Ready to choose your word for the year? Join the community workshop on December 30th here.

In this episode of What The Field?! by CrowdFarming, I sit down with Cristina Domecq and Emilia Aguirre to talk about why it’s so important to recognize and celebrate the individuals behind our food.

As Co-Founder of Top 50 Farmers, I share how visibility can transform the agricultural landscape—and why it’s crucial for the future of regenerative farming.

We talk about:

• The mission behind Top 50 Farmers and the impact it’s having across the farming community.

• How visibility can translate into policy influence, new markets, and stronger community ties.

• Why scaling regenerative farming starts with something as simple (and powerful) as knowing who your favorite farmer is.

Making farmers famous isn’t just a catchy idea—it’s a necessary step towards a more regenerative, connected food future.

Let’s make farmers famous!

Applications and nominations to find the next cohort of Top 50 Farmers open on November 4, 2025! For more information visit www.top50farmers.org

What if we looked to nature first? Innovation often starts in our heads, but what if it began by observing the world around us? Nature has been solving complex challenges for billions of years.
