Groundswell: Regenerative agriculture – does it work? Sustainable Farming Incentive, carbon farming, min-till drills, & Secrets of Soil

The Farmers Weekly Podcast

This week's episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast was recorded on location at Groundswell – the UK annual event dedicated to regenerative agriculture.
We meet the farmers who are improving soil health while ensuring their farms remain profitable and productive. How do they do it?
We look at the latest government plans to reward farmers who look after soil, water and the environment. How exactly will farmers be paid?
We get the low-down on a new £100,000 direct drill. And we speak to the people bringing conventional and organic producers together.
And we meet artist and farmer's son Henry Driver whose latest work is a novel interpretation of the soil beneath out feet.
This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Farmers Weekly chief reporter Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom with Farmers Weekly editor Andrew Meredith and Farmers Weekly senior machinery reporter Edd Mowbray.
Recorded on location at Groundswell 2021, held on 23-24 July 2021 at Lannock Manor Farm, Weston, Hitchin, Hertordshire.
