What does the future of farming look like?
Ed & Andrew discuss exactly this with host of guests from across the globe. They will be delving into current practices, technologies and scientific understanding to try and determine what the future of agriculture might look like for farmers and growers as we move into the next evolution of farming, Farming 4.0.
Carbon has become one of the biggest talking points in farming, but how has the conversation changed over the years?
In this episode, Becky looks at how our understanding of carbon has evolved, why improving soil health should always stay at the heart of the conversation, and why cutting through the noise has never been more important.
We also chat about the Soil Farmer of the Year competition and how it's recognising farmers making a real difference. The winners will be announced at Groundswell, so tune in to find out what it's all about before the big reveal.
Listen, learn, and give this post a repost and like - Cheers guys and girls.

Episode 4 | Prof Andy Neal
We enjoyed this one... Prof Andy Neal is one of the leading Soil Scientists not only in the UK but internationally too. He also happens to be a genuinely decent chap with properly good hair and taste in music... sorry Ben Adams 😆
As you can imagine, this is a soil heavy episode but Andy manages to communicate his knowledge so well which makes it accessible to all. Jane's Addiction (https://open.spotify.com/track/5fKZJHzJ9d3MADArbm9muW?si=272f9f91d0f84529) & Finitribe. (https://open.spotify.com/track/2YCXpHhi3V2QmoITCeKH1i?si=de254f34e7504667)Also, as mentioned in the podcast, heres a link to Andy's band Tipping Point (https://youtu.be/aTvdBn-OhZQ) that performed at OFRC this year.

Episode 3 | Ian Wilkinson
We were extremely fortunate to get an hour of Ian's time and the quality of insight in this podcast is exactly why he is such a busy man.
Ian is the owner of Cotswold Seeds (https://www.cotswoldseeds.com/) and co-Founder of FarmEd (https://www.farm-ed.co.uk/), two staples of UK Agriculture. You'll rarely visit a farm that doesn't have a Cotswold Seed poster on the wall, which perfectly demonstrates the impact Ian is having on UK agriculture and why he was such a good guest to have.
He also had pretty good taste in music as well with two tracks for us, Fleetwood Mac (https://open.spotify.com/track/4bEb3KE4mSKlTFjtWJQBqO?si=e179ebf41266405a) and The Mavericks (https://open.spotify.com/track/1N67xd3y9s23vitoiP3Zv5?si=0c115cf1c5064952), two proper tunes!

Episode 2 | Ben Adams
For those that don't know, Ben's into intercropping. He is also a well respected farmer, farm consultant and last but most certainly not least... SFI nause (self proclaimed grant whore!).
Andrew also interviews Ed... a lot more to delve into there!
Ed's song choice! (https://open.spotify.com/track/45AQPAds44enlvxkLsb8Q1?si=4dd85a37256346a5)
Unfortunately Ben's song choice... (https://open.spotify.com/track/49eplIHvgCLY8HAgcaWrUb?si=6d2938fae0ad4936)
