Ep.6 Andy Cato: Grain

06/18/21 • 49 min

In this episode, Andy answers the question we get asked the most when it comes to regenerative agriculture: could it feed the world?

With his own 100 hectare arable farm in Gascony, his regenerative farming model — Wildfarmed – and the French equivalent of a knighthood for services to agriculture under his belt, there's no one better to dig into the scalability of sustainable arable growing.

Ep.5 Dan Barber: Democratising Flavour

Like us, Dan Barber is on a mission to raise the bar on flavour as he shakes up the way food is grown for good. You might know him from the award winning Netflix series Chef’s Table, where he showcased the efforts of farmers, ecologists and nutritionists through one powerful medium: the plate. His conviction that chefs hold tremendous power to enact change through flavour holds a central line at his two restaurants, and in his book, The Third Plate. His most recent endeavour is Row 7 Seeds: a seed company on a mission to democratise flavour. A vital component for building a better food future, which we delve into further in this episode.

Ep.7 Bren Smith: Ocean Gardens

A commercial fisherman turned kelp and oyster farmer, Bren’s award-winning book, Eat Like a Fish, shows us how our oceans offer up a scalable solution to our global climate crisis.
Breaking down the walls between land and sea, learn about Bren’s polyculture farming model with GreenWave and his regenerative ocean farm on Thimble Island. We talk about how kelp is set to be the superfood of the future, with Bren telling us that it contains more vitamin C than orange juice, more calcium than milk and more protein than soybeans. Plus, it has the power to sequester five times more carbon than land-based plants.
This is a profoundly personal episode that brings us real hope for the future.
