Field to Front Door – Episode 10 on Groundswell, regenerative farming and learning from each other
About this episode
The episode discusses regenerative farming and the importance of collaboration among farmers, recorded live from the Groundswell event.
Today we’re back with Field to Front Door 🎙️ This one was recorded live from Groundswell, with David, Martin and Wallace all together in person for the first time after months of recording remotely. We covered plenty in this episode, from the atmosphere at Groundswell and why it’s become such an important event for farmers, through to regenerative farming, cover crops, soil biology and how different approaches are changing the way people think about growing food. There was a fascinating discussion around compost, seed treatments and building healthier soils, with Martin explaining the practical side of regenerative farming while David shared what he’s learning as he starts changing parts of his own system. We also chatted about trying new ideas, learning from other farmers, the value of collaboration and why events like Groundswell give people the confidence to take something home and have a go for themselves. As always there were plenty of laughs along the way, from photography disasters and hats to tractors, peonies and the usual conversations that seem to appear whenever the three of us get together. We’re going to keep this going fortnightly for now and see where it…
