About this episode

Tom Edmondson shares his journey into regenerative farming and its impact on his enjoyment of agriculture.

In the latest episode of Grounded: The regenerative farming podcast, Kyle and Stuart talk to farmer Tom Edmondson. Tom gradually began taking over the running of his family farm, near Milton Keynes, in 2012. His move towards regenerative practices was partly driven by seeing good results from the use of a cover crop after he took control of the arable operation in 2015. The conversation covers a range of topics, from Tom's career working with farmers for the local water company, discovering regen 'by accident', the benefits to his mental health and the challenges and opportunities of direct selling.
