Experimenting with regen – one arable farmer's story

Про цей епізод

<p>Suffolk arable farmer, Andrew Maddever and his family, have been running a pretty conventional system until fairly recently, through their 2,000ha operation and contracting business. But a trip to a regenerative farm in Argentina a few years ago got Andrew thinking. Since then he&apos;s been using parts of his land to experiment with no till, catch crops, and cover crops, as he edges his way to a more regenerative/ agro-ecological way of farming. Key for him is doing this gradually, to protect his and his clients&apos; finances. He talks candidly to Jez Fredenburgh about the challenges and wins, what his neighbours think, not being a typically &apos;neat&apos; farmer anymore, and the buzz of seeing his soils come back to life.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2206410/fan_mail/new">Message us</a></p>
