Episode 12: Opportunities in Land Aggregation & Farm Management as A Business Model

Today on The Accidental Farmer Podcast, we’re joined by Jonah Chepkok — a seasoned horticulturist and internationally certified lead auditor with over five years of hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture and food safety systems.

Jonah works with DNV Business Assurance Italy S.r.l., auditing farms and agribusinesses across the globe for compliance with GLOBALG.A.P, QMS, IFA, GRASP, Chain of Custody, and the AD-DLL GROW add-on.

In this episode, we ask a powerful question:
How can smallholder farmers move beyond survival — and into global markets as certified exporters?

Jonah walks us through what international standards actually mean on the ground, what holds smallholders back, and how farmers can take smart, practical steps toward export readiness — even with limited resources.

If you're a farmer, auditor, policymaker, or just passionate about building a better, more inclusive food system — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Let’s get into it.
