Episode 44 - "Meet the Farmers" with Rick Kohut

My guest now is Craig Floyd.  Craig has been here on DITD several times before.  I always like talking with Craig, because of his incredible knowledge of regenerative and organic growing, his work ethic and empathy for those who have less than the rest of us. Craig is retiring from running the Giving Garden in Stonington CT., which grows tons of wholesome food and gives it away.

UK economist Henry Leveson-Gower, speaking personally, discusses why different economic models, infrastructure and cooperation among farmers is needed for agroecology and regenerative farming to flourish. He is also working on getting trials going of local food currencies as a way to help tackle food poverty.

Welcome to THE BEST POSSIBLE TASTE, THE LONGEST-RUNNING FOOD/DRINK RADIO SHOW/PODCAST IN IRELAND,  CELEBRATING 10 YEARS ON THE AIR IN 2023!

In this Best Possible Taste interview, Sharon Noonan's guest is Brendan Guinan, a regenerative farmer from Co Laois.

13 June 2023 - Brendan Guinan, Fhior Bhia Farm

In 2018 Behind the Lines made a road trip to Victoria, Australia to attend the New Economy Network of Australia’s national conference in Melbourne. You can find recordings of that conference through our Align in the Sound playlists on Soundcloud.
Along the way we stopped off at a few interesting places, including CERES, a remarkable urban farm in the centre of Melbourne with more tentacles than an octopus, 160 full time (equivalent) staff, and thousands of volunteers!

Recently, these 5 year old recordings were found in the Behind the Lines vaults, and this is the result. CERES is still a world leading example of a community of social enterprises committed to the common good – it must have been improving even more since these interviews were made.

We spoke mostly with Sieta Beckwith, who holds the role of “Narrative”, and Lucy Snedden showed us through the Grocery store. We apologise to the other speakers, whose names are lost in the BTL vaults… Let us know if you recognise someone and we will credit them.
For the past decade, Sieta has worked in strategic communications roles in Social Enterprise, for profit and non–profit organisations, assisting to discover values, vision and mission through collaborative processes.
With a background and studies in literature, philosophy, psychology and communications, Sieta helps to weave the different stories of CERES into a strategically aligned narrative.

Apologies for the wind noise throughout the recording, we have done our best to keep things easy to understand.

My guest today joins me for a 2nd time here on “DITD”.  He is filmmaker John Feldman.  I first met John when I discovered his film Symbiotic Earth about the renowned , unknown to the public, scientist Lynn Margulis. A wonderful film. Now he is out with his latest film. “Regenerating Life”. A three part documentary that highlights the importance of biodiversity and natural ecosystems in regulating the climate.  The poem that follows, "Mama Nature,"   is written and performed by Naima Penniman

Buzzard View: Chapter 9: Tivington View: completing the loop

Back down through the densely wooded Selworthy Combe to where we started, we look out across the vale again towards one more farm at Holnicote – and focus our gaze on one more farm, which has another story to tell, this time of the generational and cultural challenges of adapting to the climate and biodiversity crises after decades of being encouraged to maximise productivity at all costs. This farm has moved from intensive arable farming to a more sustainable approach to farming, in collaboration with the National Trust, and a new farm school is enabling children with challenges to discover new and inspiring ways to connect with nature.

Buzzard View: Chapter 9: Tivington View: completing the loop

On this episode meet Nick and Christian from 99 Counties…they describe themselves as the “new school” farmers trying to bring back the “old school” farms. 99 Counties works directly with small regenerative farmers who care deeply for the soil, plants, and animals they raise. They buy their animals for meat at a premium so they can make a living and tend for more land, and then work with skilled butchers and sausage makers, a lost art and an industry in decline. Nick and Christian talk about their products, farming methods, and the connection to RAGBRAI. Consumers can purchase products for delivery at 99counties.com.

Episode 269: 99 Counties Brings Back the Art of Regenerative Farming

This month we start at Folx Farm in Sussex with new entrant farmers Chrissy, Rae and Dunia. Next, we learn about the power of a composting network with Thomas Daniell and catch up with food activist and grower Jo Kamal about attending La Via Campesina’s international conference last year in Brazil, as part of the Landworkers’ Alliance. To finish, we ask Marco Carbonara about his experience learning to grow olives in Italy.

The Top 10 Benefits of Regenerative Soil Microscopy
1. You can see & evaluate Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on roots, in inoculants, and the lifecycle & inoculation rate.
2. You can evaluate the members and cycling potential of the Soil Food Web
3. You can evaluate Root Hairs and verify and evaluate Rhizophagy
4. A Lack of Biology indicates toxins, imbalances, deficiencies, or a build of specific minerals 
5. Lack of Biology = Lack of Biological Benefits
6. Microscopy is Quality Control for Biological Inputs
7. Most Microplastics are EASY to ID with Epifluorescence lighting
8. We can see Algae very easily as it and chlorophyll turn blood red in epifluorescence lighting
9. DNA testing is expensive and takes serious dedication and time while Microscopy is easy, can be done daily, and is an extremely low cost per test - in most cases it's the cost of the machine and a few disposable supplies.
10. Microscopy is where it all comes together for our understanding and applying the results from all other tests. Like with bloodwork, we can see the future and avoid problems before they even become visible at a macro level.

The Top 10 Benefits of Regenerative Soil Microscopy with Matt Powers

In the eleventh episode of TechMarketView's sustainability technology podcast "Totally Sust", SustainabilityViews Research Director Craig Wentworth talks to Kanika Chandaria (Climate Lead at Agreena) and Thomas Gent (regenerative famer and founder of Gentle Farming) about how Agreena connects farmers implementing regenerative practices with corporations seeking to meet sustainability targets. 

Tune in to discover how Agreena has scaled its soil carbon programme (now operating across 20 countries, with 4.5 million hectares under management and partnerships with over 2,000 farmers), and how it uses cutting-edge satellite technology and data analysis to measure and verify carbon sequestration; and how Gentle Farming (which has been practicing no-till farming since 2008) achieves comparable yields to conventional methods whilst dramatically reducing inputs and improving soil health – demonstrating that regenerative agriculture isn't just environmentally sound, it's financially viable.

The conversation offers valuable insights into how regenerative farming delivers multiple benefits beyond carbon (including increased biodiversity and greater resilience against climate extremes) while exploring practical pathways for both farmers considering the transition and corporations looking to support sustainable agriculture in their supply chains and sustainability strategies.
This is an edited version of the podcast. Subscribers to TechMarketView’s SustainabilityViews research can listen to (and download) the full-length 40-minute version from our website (see https://www.techmarketview.com/videos/totally-sust-11-scaling-soil-carbon-markets for more details).

Carbon trading and carbon markets are no help for food and farming argues Devlin Kuyek in this interview. He works for GRAIN - a small international non-profit organisation that works to support small farmers and social movements in their struggles for community-controlled and biodiversity-based food systems. He argues these  markets are used as a form of greenwashing and fuel a new rush for farmland. 

Carbon markets, greenwashing and a new rush for farmland

This month we hear from an industrial designer who has created a ‘farm tool ecosystem’, next up is a farmer with a fresh approach to farming on peatland and finally we tune into a Pitch Up competition winner who has started their egg business at a multi-enterprise farm in Hampshire. Plus, a reminder for any Cereal fans out there about how to get involved with a new project six years on from the original series. 

----

We start with CropKit – a modular open-source customisable farm tool ecosystem tailored for small farms and recently shortlisted for the Dyson Award. Its inventor, David Soche, tells us how it works and why he’s committed to keeping farmers in control by ensuring they can repair and adapt the tool themselves. This was all part of his Industrial Design Masters, you can read much more about the tool ecosystem and his research here.

Next, we speak to Cameron Edwards at Goose Meadow Farm in Lancashire about his decision to start growing bulrushes, in collaboration with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust. The farm sits on lowland peatland that had previously been drained and is now being re-wetted. Cameron is working with PONDA, a clothing company who use bulrushes to make insulation in their coats and jackets. When they’ve processed the bullrush fibres, they give the leftover seeds back to farmers to plant more of the crop. 

We end with an insight into one of the Pitch Up! Program winners, Rodrigo Navarro. He and his wife Kirsten have been running their chicken business, Wandering Feathers, for just six months. 
The Pitch Up! scheme at Kingsclere Estates paved the way for him to break into the unfamiliar world of rural life. Pitch Up! is a farmer-led movement connecting businesses with forward-thinking farms to spark new ideas and enterprises. A number of farms across the UK are involved so you can head to the website and see where you might want to pitch your land based business idea with the application season running the month of November.

Did you listen to our series Cereal? We want to hear from you! 

We’re collecting voices and stories from the movement, to feature in a show about Cereal 6 years on. 

Send us a voicenote on our Farmerama Radio whatsapp ( +447466301300 ), letting us know who you are, how you came across the series, and whether it sparked any change or action, big or small. If you don’t want your voice shared on the episode, that’s fine, we’d still love to hear your thoughts, just let us know you don’t want it shared.

We want to understand the collective impact of the series and celebrate the work of those continuing to build the new grains movement. We are also interested to understand the impact that storytelling can have within the regenerative farming world. 
The Whatsapp account will be live from the 1 Nov, you can reach us on +447466301300 - the Farmerama Radio Whatsapp and then send us an audio note up to 5 minutes long.

This month we hear from a farmer in the Chinampa region outside Mexico City, we then get the lowdown on the recent Nyéléni forum in Sri Lanka, and finally we talk to The Missing Miller who helps run the newly-founded Nottingham Mill co-op.
Plus, we want to hear from you as we gather stories from anyone who listened to the Cereal series  - please send Farmerama a voice note on +447466301300 telling us who you are, where you are based, and whether the series sparked any change or action, big or small.

In this final episode of our Autumn series, we start by speaking to Cassandra Gardano about life farming in the Chinampas in Mexico. The Chinampas – sometimes known as floating farms – are one of the most productive and biodiverse agroecological systems in the world, dating back over 1,500 years. Cassandra tells us about local efforts to preserve traditional farming knowledge through the Etiqueta Chinampera certification, and the vital work Chinampa farmers are doing is to preserve and reintroduce the indigenous species of the area like the  axolotl.

Next, we speak to Paula Gioia of La Via Campesina, who gives us the low-down on the Nyéléni Forum held earlier this year in Sri Lanka – a global gathering of food sovereignty movements. Paula explains how the forum builds on decades of organising to strengthen solidarity among peasants, fisherfolk, indigenous and pastoralist communities, and how this year’s Kandy Declaration sets out an ambitious shared political agenda for systemic transformation “now and forever.” 

Finally, we catch up with Emma Shires, who runs The Missing Miller and co-founded the Nottingham Mill Co-op. Emma tells us about how the Nottingham Mill Co-op grew from a shared corner of a bakery into a thriving community grain hub. She also reflects on her business name, The Missing Miller (inspired by our Cereal series) and why rebuilding local milling infrastructure is so important in the UK. 

We have been totally blown away at how many people have gotten in touch over the last 6 years to share a bit of your story after listening to Cereal, and now we want to hear from you again and see where things are now. Please send Farmerama a voice note on +447466301300 telling us who you are, where you are based, and whether the series sparked any change or action, big or small. The team will also be at ORFC in January. If you're planning on attending and have a Cereal related memory or story to share, let us know and we’ll track you down with a microphone. You can email us on farmeramaradio@gmail.com or DM us on Instagram.
