Regenerative Agriculture: Buzzwords & Bullsh*t

Andrew & Carl on their way back from a speaking tour of Scotland and Northern England chatting about all things nitrogen.

Friday lunchtime in a Devon pub chewing the fat and getting the lowdown on "Big Ag" in a climate of regenerative agricilture. How strong is the whiff of Bullsh*t?

When do green farming rules go too far? The lines are being drawn and people are getting angry!

Summer is when the Bullsh*t blooms, reaching its apogee at Groundswell. Between them, Andrew & Carl have been to most of the events so what are the take-home messages, fashionable buzzwords and just plain old bullsh*t? We have suffered this so you didn't have to. You are welcome.

Andrew recounts tales from 2 months of fannying about travelling the world on his Nuffield Scholarship. Beware this episode contains nuts!

We had so much to discuss with Ed we did a second podcast..... this is it. Enjoy. WARNING! May include talk of biostimulants!

Andrew and Carl might have met their match here! A proper high priest from the church of Regen Ag joins the Buzzwords podcast slap bang in the middle of England. Out of the westcountry and out of their depth or taking the cause to the heart of the country? Get in touch through Twitter @AgBullsh if you want to join the conversation or come on the podcast.

Andrew & Carl are at Exeter services meeting James to discuss the realities of farming and regenerative agriculture in the south-west of England. Carl promises not to be rude to our guest........ let's see how that goes. Join the conversation on Twitter @AgBullsh

With Veganuary looming large, we thought it a good time to discuss whether "Livestock" are buzzword or (ahem....) bullshit. Should we replace Veganuary with Regenuary. Get in touch and let us know your thoughts..... @AgBullsh on Twitter.

The year is coming to an end, cows are in the barn and agronomists are off skiing. Time for Andrew and Carl to ponder what they have learned over the past few months of digging into regenerative agriculture. And no, we haven't done the biostimulants follow up episode yet because we have been too busy and cannot be arsed. Follow us on Twitter @AgBullsh and get involved. Happy Christmas!

Andrew & Carl on the drive back to Devon reflect upon having spent the day at a "Regenerative Agriculture Workshop" given by UnderstandingAg at Groundswell HQ UK. Has being in the presence of greatness (Gabe Brown, Shane New & Dr Allen Wiliams) tempered their scepticism?

Whether seaweed, amino acids or wizzard's-piss; there are hundreds of biostimulant products out there promising regenerative gold. Do the claims stand up to inspection or is it a load of bullshit?

Starting off with the big one! What is regenerative agriculture? Is all other agriculture degenerative? Is sustainability old hat? What about organic? Isn't it all just agriculture in the end? Exciting new frontier? Crazy cult full of dogma? Or just plain old bullshit? These are our thoughts..... Let us know what you think on Twitter @AgBullsh

Regenerative agriculture is making waves and changing minds but what is sound theory and what is bollocks? This is the start of the challenge to some of the claims that are being made. Andrew (ex-dairy farmer and animal husbandry expert) and Carl (over 30 years in agricultural R&D) take a buzzword at a time and test it for bullshit content. There will be a few guests along the way to help in the quest and we welcome your feedback and interaction through the Twitter page. @AgBullsh
