What if our approach to farming could heal the planet while creating more nutritious food? In this episode of the C3 Podcast: Code Conscious Conversations, we are joined by Neil Smith, a regenerative agriculture advisor and consultant dedicated to transforming farming through resilient regenerative ecosystems.
We dive into the fascinating world of soil health as the foundation of human nutrition and explore how regenerative agriculture creates a truly interconnected ecosystem. Neil shares his journey from conventional farming to becoming a champion for regenerative practices that prioritize abundance and resilience. We also discuss how blockchain technology through the Grow platform is creating a decentralized food system that brings transparency, traceability, and fair value back to farmers.
Neil Smith is a leading figure in regenerative agriculture, with extensive experience in carbon sequestration, ecology, soil science, and permaculture. He has worked globally to promote sustainable farming practices that restore ecological balance while enhancing food production.
