Podcasts about regenerative farming

Send us Fan MailWhat does "regenerative agriculture" actually mean, and why should pet parents care?In this episode, we sit down with the team behind Ramstead Ranch to explore the connection between soil health, nutrient-dense food, sustainable farming, and the health of both people and pets.We discuss the origin story of Ramstead Ranch, how 240 acres were transformed through regenerative farming practices, and why healthy soil may be one of the most important factors in producing healthier food. You'll learn how regenerative agriculture differs from factory farming and conventional "Big Ag," what nutrient differences may exist between foods raised in healthy ecosystems, and why you can't out-supplement poor-quality food produced from depleted land.We also dive into practical advice for becoming a more informed consumer, navigating confusing marketing claims, feeding nutrient-dense foods on a budget, and understanding how Ramstead Ranch expanded into products for dogs. Along the way, we share stories from ranch life, lessons learned from livestock guardian dogs, and resources for anyone interested in learning more about regenerative agriculture.In This Episode: Origin story of Ramstead Ranch  What regenerative agriculture really means  How to evaluate food and pet food marketing claims  Regenerative farming vs factory farming and Big Ag  Soil health and nutrient density  Rebuilding 240 acres through regenerative practices  Why Ramstead Ranch began offering products for dogs  Behind-the-scenes realities of ranch life  The connection between soil, food quality, and chronic health issues  Budget-friendly ways to feed more nutrient-dense foods  Resources for learning more about regenerative agriculture  Chris's journey to Ramstead Ranch Find Ramstead Ranch:Web: https://ramsteadranch.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/ramsteadranch/FB: https://www.facebook.com/RamsteadRanchLinks Discussed:Gabe Brown: https://brownsranch.us/Common Ground Film: https://commongroundfilm.org/Kiss the Ground: https://kissthegroundmovie.com/Joel Salatin: https://www.regenerativefarms.org/why-regeneration/Food Inc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXIkrYbqRO0Omnivore's DilemmaSocial Media:Kimberly: Raw Feeder Life, RawFeederLife.comErin Scott: Believe in Dog podcast, BelieveInDogPodcast.comRaw Feeder Life, Instagram.com/RawFeederLifeBelieve in Dog Podcast, Instagram.com/Erin_The_Dog_MomThanks for listening to our podcast.  You can learn more about Erin Scott's first podcast at BelieveInDogPodcast.com.  And you can learn more about raw feeding, raising dogs naturally, and Kimberly's dogs at KeepTheTailWagging.com.  And don't forget to subscribe to The Alternative Dog Moms.

Good podcasts are part of an ecosystem of ideas that have the potential to change the world - to shift us into the new system we so badly need.  For a long time, Farmerama Radio has been at the leading, radical edge where food, farming and activism meet. In the early days, it was all about fostering the voices of grassroots, small-scale farming with monthly episodes featuring stories from the field. Then, in 2019, the co-founders, Abby Rose and Jo Barratt worked with Katie Revell to produce their first in-depth series Cereal, which looked at the process of creating bread, from seed to loaf. It was a huge hit, and building off the success of Cereal – which won two Guild of Food Writers Awards – they went on to produce several more series, including their most downloaded, Landed, a powerful exploration of land ownership and colonial legacy in Scotland. In April of this year, Farmerama launched a new project Cereal Revisited, looking at the real-world impact of their podcast, and how Farmerama's stories helped listeners take action, both big and small.  This is a story of Thrutopia in action and we are really delighted to welcome one of the co-founders, Abby Rose to this podcast. Abby continues to lead the podcast today (the team is all women) and is both a farmer and soil health advocate. She was named one of 50 New Radicals by The Guardian and Nesta in 2018 for her work developing simple apps that help build ecology, profitability and beauty on farms around the world, and then in 2020, she was named in Code Hospitality's Top 100 Influential Women in Hospitality.  Farmerama Radio itself was named Best Investigative Work and Best Food Podcast at the Guild of Food Writers Awards 2020 and won Best Environment and Natural World podcast at the Independent Podcast Awards 2024.  So for a story that really gets to the heart of the power of story, please do listen and enjoy.LinksFarmerama website Farmerama Radio podcast on Apple Podcasts Wakelyns Farm in Suffolk Nottingham Mill Co-opHodmedod's YQ Grain at Hodmedod'sUK Grain Lab —About Accidental Gods—We offer three strands all rooted in the same soil, drawing from the same river: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass Our next Open Gathering offered as part of our Accidental Gods Programme is 'WALKING THE PATH OF THE INNER WARRIOR' which will run on Sunday 28th June 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT - details are here.

You don't have to look much further than your grocery receipt to see how climate change can affect our food supply chain. But some of the key drivers of climate change are sitting right in our carts. It's a chicken-or-egg debacle that we're happy to explore on this episode if it means understanding how we can create a more adaptable, equitable food supply chain.  Farms are dealing with historic heat waves slashing wheat and maize yields, record rainfall collapsing corn harvests, sea level rise swallowing farmland on the East Coast, and disappearing pollinators that one-third of our food supply depends on. And we're paying the price. We hear from our community about how the rising price of groceries has meant making sustainability tradeoffs on what they buy at the store. Food insecurity and the climate crisis are also intertwined. Maggie Baird, founder of Support and Feed, helps us understand how the animal agriculture industry is at the center of many climate (and health woes), challenging us to rethink food traditions rooted in culture and family identity. To better understand how we got here,  Commons founder Sanchali Seth Pal follows the money through animal agriculture subsidies.   Episode rundown: (00:54) - How our food choices and the climate crisis feed each other (02:30) - How climate change is affecting food prices (04:41) - When sustainable food becomes a luxury you can't afford (09:07) - Animal agriculture, culinary tradition, and food inequity with Maggie Baird (27:49) - Our tax dollars are making meat cheaper? (33:59) - Changing what we eat can change the climate

The MAHA Lowdown with Jeff Louderback – Regenerative farming emerges as a vital answer to rising distrust in health, food, and regulatory systems. As concerns over glyphosate, corporate influence, and weakened accountability grow, farmers and consumers push for cleaner methods, transparent labeling, local sourcing, and practical alternatives that protect families, restore soil, and rebuild public confidence today...

This week, guest host Oli Dugmore, speaks to Andy Cato, one half of electronic music duo Groove Armada and a leading advocate for regenerative farming.Andy argues that modern agriculture is reaching a breaking point. He says that a reliance on chemical farming has degraded our ecosystems, taken agency away from farmers, and made us over reliant on fragile international trade systems. Through regenerative farming, he believes it's possible to restore ecosystems, rebuild soil health and create a more resilient food system for the 21st century.They discuss Andy's unlikely journey from global touring musician to farmer, including selling his music catalogue to buy land, and the founding of Wildfarmed, a business aiming to help farmers transition to regenerative agriculture while remaining profitable. Andy also explains why he believes traditional farming is no longer sustainable, how a different model could be financed, and what the benefits could be for farmers, consumers and the environment alike.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Boostcous, the protein-boosted, fiber-rich couscous alternative made entirely from chickpea, lentil, and pea flour. It checks a lot of boxes right out of the gate: 18 grams of plant protein, 11 grams of fiber, gluten-free, non-GMO, regeneratively grown, and even glyphosate-free with third-party testing to back it up. But does a cleaner ingredient list automatically make something a smart choice for your health goals? Jenn breaks down the nutrition facts, does the net carb math, and asks the questions the brand left unanswered. Is Boostcous a game-changer, or just better marketing on the same old starch problem?

Indoor Epidemic: Prescribing Nature, Light, Air, and Movement with Dr. John La Puma, internist, chef, and regenerative farmer. His book, "Indoor Epidemic," argues that spending about 93% of life indoors undermines health through poor light timing, air quality, limited movement, and reduced nature exposure. La Puma cites data that outdoor morning light helps set circadian rhythms, while nighttime blue light can impair sleep quality and raise cardiovascular risks, referencing a large UK Biobank study. He discusses indoor pollutants and CO2 buildup affecting inflammation and cognition, recommends strategies like getting daylight early (even just a sky view), using circadian lighting, and taking brief outdoor breaks to reduce myopia risk. He describes measurable benefits of forest bathing and gardening (including immune and mood effects), notes hospital studies linking window views to shorter stays and less pain medication, and reviews his pioneering work in culinary medicine now taught widely in medical schools, emphasizing cooking and growing food as preventive and therapeutic tools.

On this episode of American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan sits down with Nathan Vannette of Growing Green Family Farms in Anderson, South Carolina, for a conversation that goes beyond what's on your plate and into the soil itself.Vannette shares how his farm operates on a spray-free, no-till, regenerative model that prioritizes soil health, biodiversity, and truly clean food. His philosophy is simple: if it's safe for a bug to eat, it's safe for us to eat. That mindset shapes everything from how crops are grown to how pests are managed, relying on natural balance instead of chemicals.The discussion also highlights Growing Green's role in supporting its local community, supplying fresh produce year-round to restaurants, markets, and CSA members throughout the region.Vannette talks about his involvement with Project Victory Gardens, helping connect retiring military personnel with hands-on farming experience through the SkillBridge program. He also explains why storytelling and education are essential to the future of agriculture, from hosting K-12 farm tours to mentoring college students through horticulture internships.From his early days experimenting in a childhood garden to building a thriving regenerative farm, Vannette's journey reflects both a deep respect for the land and a commitment to passing that knowledge on to the next generation.Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Meet Hayley and Stephanie Painter, the dynamic sister duo behind Painterland Sisters, an organic Skyr yogurt brand that's bringing transparency, nutrition, and real farm flavor to shelves across the country. Raised on their family's fourth-generation regenerative dairy farm in Northern Pennsylvania, Hayley and Stephanie launched their brand with a bold vision: to connect consumers directly with American farmers while offering a nutrient-dense product that tastes as good as it does good. In this episode, they chat with Elizabeth about how growing up barefoot on the farm shaped their values, why regenerative farming is the future of food, and how they went from hand-labeling yogurt in their 20s to selling over 6 million units. You'll also hear how they balance sisterhood and business, why they refuse to follow food trends, and what's next for this mission-driven brand.  **This episode was published in April 2025.** Episodes Here  Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth:  Website | Instagram Painterland Sisters Yogurt: Website Mentioned:  evanhealy  Fishwives 

Why This Episode MattersDoug Frost connects wine education, grape growing, climate pressure, and wine culture mythmaking in one conversation.This episode makes a smart, practical case for hybrid grapes as part of wine's future, not just a regional curiosity.The discussion cuts through vague “natural wine” posturing and asks a better question: is the wine actually good?Mark Pascal and Francis Schott keep the wine-geek material accessible without dumbing it down.Doug's work at Echo Lands brings the conversation from what's in the glass to what has to happen in the vineyard.The BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott open with a detour into ferries, bar cars, and the enduring appeal of any transportation where somebody else is driving and a drink might be available.The ConversationDoug Frost joins the show for a wide-ranging discussion about hybrid grapes, climate pressure, and why regions outside the usual wine power centers may have more to teach the wine world than they get credit for. He explains how growers in places like the Midwest, New Jersey, and Europe are rethinking what counts as a serious wine grape as farming realities change.The conversation then pivots into a lively critique of bad “natural wine” logic. Doug, Mark, and Francis are not arguing against low-intervention winemaking; they are arguing against excusing obvious flaws because the category sounds virtuous. In the final stretch, Frost talks about Echo Lands in Walla Walla, where regenerative farming and land stewardship are part of building a winery meant to last.Timestamps00:00 – Opening setup: Doug Frost and why this episode goes a little into the weeds00:45 – Banter: ferries, commuting by boat, and the romance of transit with a drink04:25 – Doug Frost joins; What it means to be both a Master Sommelier and a Master of Wine07:30 – Hybrid grapes, mildew, climate pressure, and the future of wine growing17:00 – Which hybrid grapes and producers are worth seeking out28:20 – Doug Frost on natural wine, flaws, and why unstable wine is still flawed wine40:00 – Echo Lands, Walla Walla, and building a winery around regenerative farming51:36 – Red wine tipBioDoug Frost is one of the few people in the world to hold both the Master Sommelier and Master of Wine titles.

Brett Chedzoy is a Cornell Extension Forester and co-operator of Angus Glen Farms in upstate New York, where he and his wife Maria graze over 100 cow-calf pairs across 600 acres with much of it wooded. He's also been ranching in central Argentina since the mid-1990s, where he first discovered his love for cattle after heading there as a Peace Corps volunteer fresh out of graduate school.In this episode, Brett breaks down silvopasture and how to evaluate existing woodland and open it up for productive grazing. He explains why thinning your woods isn't just about letting in light, it's about protecting the long-term value of your timber while growing more forage.Topics covered:Brett's background: Kansas wheat farming roots, a Welsh sheep-herding grandfather, Peace Corps in Argentina, and what the gauchos taught him about the difference between working hard and working smartWhat silvopasture looks like in the forested Northeast vs. the savanna-style systems common in other regionsWhy cool-season forages like orchardgrass can actually thrive in light shade and how silvopasture extends your grazing season on both endsThe 10-question site evaluation tool Brett developed to assess whether a piece of woodland is a good silvopasture candidateHow to find the right logging crew for silvopasture thinning (hint: it's a very different operation than high-value timber harvest)The forester vs. farmer timescale problem and how to find the middle groundWho to call first: land grant extension, state forestry agencies, and your local soil and water conservation districtWhy Brett recommends starting small and getting your first experience before tackling a 50-acre projectResources mentioned:Cornell Silvopasture resources — search "Cornell silvopasture" or visit forestconnect.infoBrett's 10-question silvopasture site evaluation toolNational Agroforestry CenterUniversity of Missouri silvopasture resources Looking for grass-based breeders? Explore the Grass Based Genetics directory.Upcoming Grazing EventsNoble Profitability Essentials - Jefferson City, Mo, March 24-25, 2026Visit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond Agriculture Grassroots CarbonGrazing Grass LinksWebsiteCommunity (on Facebook)Original Music by Louis Palfrey

We hear from farmers and others taking part in the programme and visit the Cotswold Regenerative Agriculture Conference.  This podcast was supported with a Farming in Protected Landscapes Fund grant from Defra.  To discover more about the Regenerative Agriculture Accelerator Programme visit Home | Regendeep

Salinity hasn't gone away—and in some parts of South Dakota, it may be setting up for a comeback. In this short, focused episode, Buz Kloot sits down with conservationist Shane Jordan to unpack why conditions are aligning for salinity to re-emerge as a serious issue this year. What looks like a dry start may actually be the trigger for something deeper—literally. This episode sets the stage for understanding the problem before diving into solutions in Part 2.   What You'll Learn Why last year's wet conditions are still affecting fields today How a rising water table + dry conditions can amplify salinity The role of capillary rise in bringing salts to the soil surface Why bare soil and lack of living roots make the problem worse How management decisions (tillage, crop loss, inputs) contribute to risk Why salinity is ultimately a water cycle problem, not just a soil issue “When we get a really wet year followed by a dry one… we actually see a lot of these salts get enhanced.”    Key Insight Salinity is not just a patch problem—it's a systems problem. What shows up as a white patch in a field is often just the symptom. The cause lies in how water moves (or doesn't move) across the entire landscape.   Why This Year Is Different Extremely wet conditions in parts of the region last year (30+ inches in some areas) Saturated soils leading to elevated water tables Limited plant growth or destroyed crops in affected areas Fields left bare and vulnerable to evaporation Early signs of a potentially dry season Together, these create the perfect conditions for salts to move upward and accumulate at the surface.   What to Watch For This Spring Areas with standing water last year Field edges near wetlands, ditches, and drainages Spots where crops were stressed, drowned out, or chemically terminated Expanding patches of white or crusted soil   Learn More We've compiled practical resources, videos, and producer insights here:

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

Send a text In this episode of the Profitable Steward Podcast, I'm joined by Josh Adams of Living Soil Management and returning guest William DeMille for a powerful conversation about the future of regenerative agriculture, commodity farming, and soil health. We talk about the economic pressure facing today's farmers, especially those trapped in large scale, low margin commodity agriculture, and why many are searching for practical solutions that go beyond simply cutting costs. Josh shares how living soil management offers a different path, one built on soil biology, targeted minerals, microbiology, plant diversity, and management systems that work with nature instead of against it. This episode explores how regenerative farming can help producers reduce dependence on synthetic chemicals, improve nutrient density, suppress weed pressure naturally, restore degraded soils, and create opportunities to move from commodity markets into more profitable direct and specialty markets. We also discuss the connection between healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy livestock, and human health, along with the growing consumer demand for cleaner, more nutrient dense food. If you are a farmer, rancher, steward, or agriculture entrepreneur looking for hope, practical insight, and a clearer vision for the future of profitable regenerative agriculture, this conversation is for you. Jump over to YouTube to catch the video of this and all podcast episodes.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpLUbiwmZtkszQAjdtlO8ZQiJjgrYGr1x

Einkorn ancient grain, fresh milled flour, and regenerative farming are changing the way we understand wheat, gluten, and nutrient density. In this episode, we explore how ancient grains like einkorn differ from modern wheat — and why fresh milling preserves more nutrition than store-bought flour.On this Wellness Wednesday episode, I sit down with a regenerative farmer Jade Koyle who is growing ancient grains with deep care for the soil and a commitment to true nutrient density.We discuss:• What makes einkorn genetically different from modern hybridized wheat• How regenerative farming practices improve soil health and mineral content• The complexity of einkorn's gluten structure and digestibility• Why fresh-milled flour retains more vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats• Practical ways to begin baking with ancient grains at homeLet me know in the comments, have you baked with einkorn or milled your own grain yet?

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Javvy Coffee. With bold flavors ranging from chocolate raspberry truffle to brownie batter s'mores, and promises to help you "get healthier, lose weight, and reach your fitness goals," this coffee concentrate brand is making some serious noise on social media. But when Jenn digs into the nutrition facts and ingredient lists, things get interesting. Zero calories but full flavor? Natural ingredients but mysterious "natural flavors"? A serving size that seems suspiciously small? And why can't she find any information about who actually makes this product? Between the protein coffee's laundry list of health benefit claims, the concentrate's confusing nutrition labels, and sweeteners that are hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, Jenn has some thoughts. Is Javvy Coffee the convenient, guilt-free beverage solution it claims to be, or is there more to the story hidden behind the marketing language? Like what you're hearing?

Back in 2024 with Calley Means at South by Southwest, we sat down and talked about his mission to flip the old American food pyramid upside down for the greater good. Well guess what, the pressure is finally working! This rerun is the ultimate receipt that focus, repetition, and smart lobbying for human health can still move the needle! Host Dave Asprey sits down with Calley Means, entrepreneur, policy advocate, and co-author of Good Energy. Together, they break down how the U.S. healthcare system became a sick-care system, why ultra-processed food dominates public policy, and how individuals can reclaim autonomy over their biology. From CGMs and metabolic health to food subsidies, lobbying, and free speech, this episode challenges deeply held assumptions about medicine, nutrition, and personal responsibility.You'll Learn: • Why chronic disease is the most profitable business model in modern history • How metabolic dysfunction drives obesity, diabetes, depression, and infertility • Why ultra-processed food sits at the root of America's health collapse • How CGMs and metabolic data threaten entrenched healthcare incentives • What “food is medicine” really means and where it gets weaponized • How HSA and FSA dollars can legally support food, exercise, and prevention • Why fixing incentives matters more than blaming individuals • How reclaiming health autonomy is tied to free speech and human resilience Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.
