In this episode of 'The Regenerative Journey,' host Charlie Arnott sits down with James Rebanks at the Grounded conference in Tasmania. They discuss the critical role of farmers in public and mental health, the impact of farming practices on soil and human biomes, and the urgent need for governments to prioritize sustainable agriculture. Rebanks shares insights on the current state of farming in the UK, the economic challenges faced by farmers, and the importance of local food systems. Despite pressures from big agriculture and complex political landscapes, both Rebanks and Arnott emphasize the potential of regenerative farming to transform the land and ensure food security. Join Charlie and James as they delve into the future of farming and the remarkable shifts happening across agricultural practices.
