Farm Gate

Farm Gate host ffinlo Costain and his guests discuss why young people are still being pushed toward AI-vulnerable careers in medicine and law and into burning hot cities and suffocating offices, over farming professions in the countryside, and what more can be done to encourage young people to take an interest in agriculture.

This conversation explores what it takes to put farmers at the heart of on-farm trials – the role that agricultural research and good knowledge sharing play – and how all of it connects to regenerative farming and broader agroecology.

 

Brash Ag

Hosts and Chartered Agricultural Engineers, Raymond King and Kit Franklin, reflect on their time at Groundswell, discussing how the event compares to more traditional agricultural shows and sharing some of the innovations that caught their attention, before sitting down with Stuart Oates to explore one of farming’s biggest long-term challenges: achieving fossil-free farming.

 

Meet the Farmers

Ben Eagle speaks with Tom McVeigh, a 13th generation farm who farms at Kenton Hall in Suffolk. Tom describes his journey coming back to the family farm, and also his ambitions to grow hazelnuts.

Sophie Gregory and Ally Hunter Blair are joined by Suffolk based organic farmer John Pawsey to discuss the future of organic farming. How does John see the future of his farm?

 

Farming Focus – The Podcast for South West Farmers

What really works in regenerative agriculture? From improving soil health and profitability to managing risk and learning through trial and error, Cornwall-based farmer, Geoff Williams, and Terrafarmer’s, Will Marris and Jack Pierce, explore practical ways farmers can build more resilient businesses by understanding their objectives, starting small and collaborating with others.
