When Farming Helps Nature [My Common Sense Take] - Exploring the Mindset of Regeneration

We Are Carbon

This episode brings my own personal dialogue exploring our farming system through a regenerative lens.

A stark realisation of not only how bizarre it is, but of the potential we have as humans to step in, turn the tide and become a beneficial element from this place forward.

This journey is given life and rooted down by the insights and experiences of three wonderful guests from the podcast.

Learn more from our guests:

Agroforestry producer Bernadette Millard helps us appreciate the potential of perennial foods. She shares experiences from her journey transforming her farm in the desert borderlands of Oman into a thriving oasis.

The full We Are Carbon episode with Bernadette can be found here.

Organic farmer Hannah Thorogood offers insights into why we should be imitating nature with our raising of livestock.

She utilises permaculture and holistic grazing on her 130 acre farm, The InkPot Organic Farm in the UK.

The original We Are Carbon episode with Hannah can be found here - as part of a compilation about building a local food system.

And filmmaker Peter Byck brings observations from his extensive project with a wide range of scientists who have studied nature side by side on farms using regenerative grazing compared with farms grazing conventionally.

Peter's full interview for We Are Carbon will be published in early summer.

In the meantime you can learn more about his extensive research project and the corresponding film series 'Roots So Deep, You Can See The Devil Down There'.
