Fjällgås: Bringing living systems potential into existence.
We focus on
Regenerative Change Agents
People like you, who want to improve our planet, understand regeneration and put your passion into action.
Those who influence regenerative change all have certain characteristics, competencies and worldview, which we conceptualised in our Regenerative Change Agents framework.
We are here to guide you on this journey to put your passion into action in your life, project or organisation. Our aim is to build an ecosystem of regenerative change agents who put change into action today.
Innovative Regenerative Support
Regenerating is managing complexity.

Learn with Us
The premise to bring living systems potential into existence is based on curiosity and an entrepreneurial mindset. We learn and improve with you. We use external transitions as a rich place of learning for internal transformations and help you speed up the process of putting living systems potential into action within your organisation. We walk the talk. We are not solely here to coach, consult, advise or mentor. We are putting what we preach into action in several of our own projects and start-ups.

Charles builds this energy through inspirational talks and guided journeys through our bootcamp, incubator and accelerator; by setting up a regenerative tourism destination for people interested in food, food production, nature conservation, education, birds and birdwatching; by supporting farmers who are already producing food in a regenerative way and farmers who want to transition towards regenerative practices; by supporting our mental and physical wellbeing through sauna’s; by supporting our own health through healthy food and beverages; and with a dream to set up his own regenerative farm, accommodation, conference space and living bird collection.
Charles van de Kerkhof
He has been brought up in the tourism industry with a passion for nature. Whilst travelling and working in several European and African countries and exploring their local flora and fauna he first hand experienced our planet’s natural and social challenges. His curiosity and inquisitiveness gave him the passion and drive to explore how we can look after our planet’s biodiversity better. This led him to continuously work in tourism, entrepreneurship, innovation and foodscapes, as well as study and research these topics during three Master of science degrees, which provided him with systems thinking and with a critical, entrepreneurial and regenerative mindset.
When he is not working or studying, Charles is usually found outdoors: bird watching, improving his bushcraft skills, exploring the local flora & fauna or enjoying nature while hiking. As a keen gardener, homebrewer and maker of his own sourdough bread, he values regenerative agriculture and the role locally regeneratively produced food should play in our society. As a keen aviculturist Charles is always looking for social and natural possibilities for species and ecosystem regeneration. He is motivated by challenges and thanks to his educational and practical experience has developed a service-oriented character. Charles has a keen interest in mental health and wellbeing, cold bathing and saunas. As a qualified field guide in Southern Africa and working in the African safari industry for several years as well as managing his own living collection of birds, he embodies ecoliteracy and living systems thinking.
Charles has studied regeneration in leadership, tourism, agriculture, development & design, education, entrepreneurship, business and economics since 2019 and has implemented his learnings in his own enterprise and in his early stage start-ups. This experience and reflection between theory and practice made him connect the dots and find one solution to help himself and guide others on implementing a regenerative mindset and approach in our lives, projects and organisations. Which is what he offers through Fjällgås AB.
Charles is an energetic and passionate entrepreneur, connector and ecosystem facilitator with deep knowledge about the subjects he is interested in. What sets him apart is his enthusiasm, his inquisitiveness to learn, his entrepreneurial background, broad combination of transdisciplinary experiences gained and his practical, hands-on, no fluff approach on solving problems. His wide scope of practical work experience within nature tourism in Africa and Europe, as well as working in the entrepreneurial and innovation support system in Sweden, gave him a holistic view of the world and the tools, skills and network to guide you to strategize, execute and test regenerative entrepreneurial practices in projects and organisations.
