Podcast Overview

Humans of Hospitality is a weekly podcast, showcasing stories and insights from the world of hospitality – the human beings rather than the big brands behind our food and drink. You'll hear from the producers of ingredients and the people who combine those ingredients to bring you new dishes and drinks… and the owners of the bars, cafés and restaurants who create memorable settings, so you recall your mouth-watering meals years later. They are the people who bring vibrancy to their corner of hospitality and, who, as a group, make all our lives richer and more interesting. Each week brings a new inspiring story. We are exploring hospitality in its broadest sense. Farming, politics, culture, cooking, nutrition, welfare, family, business, love and more. Wether you're a famous figure or total unknown, if you love hospitality and have something important to say, chances are we'll end up having a conversation. We want to explore the fair production of food, protecting the planet and humanity, whilst tasting awesome. It's going to be quite the adventurous conversation. If you want a world of formulaic and dull corporate sameness this is not the podcast for you. If you'd like to learn about amazing human beings who dedicate their lives to making the world of food, drink and hospitality more diverse for our daily enjoyment, please listen. In showcasing these stories, founder and presenter Mark Cribb, wants to tip the balance back in favour of independent businesses: "Where we spend our money genuinely makes a difference to the kind of world we live in. So let's at least make our world interesting."

#136 Thomas Gent - Gentle Farming

<p>I so loved my first research chat with Thomas about <strong>Regenerative Farming & Carbon Credits</strong> that when the opportunity came up to record a podcast I took the chance to travel across the country and meet him face to face.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> I adore Thomas’s idea and the knowledge he has gained as a <strong>fourth generational farmer in Cambridgeshire</strong> .<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>In a nutshell Thomas spent a bit of downtime in lockdown pondering how to solve a global problem.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> But he did that looking out of his window in a very <strong>real, local and achievable</strong> way, that could have almost instant and measurable results. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>As is all too often the case it’s the simple ideas that look like they have the greatest opportunity.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> If any of you listening have seen the ‘<strong>kissing the ground documentary</strong>’ on <a href="https://kisstheground.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><strong>netflix</strong></a> then this is the deep dive podcast equivalent of one way to help with the challenge of what is happening to our soil.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> If any of you have listened to my podcast with <a href= "https://humansofhospitality.co.uk/episode/046-guy-singh-watson-riverford-organic-farmers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guy Singh Watson</a> about <strong>organic farming</strong>, where we also touch on how many harvests are left in our soil, then this will be a great follow on episode.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>For any of you simply interested in <strong>offsetting your carbon</strong> in your business, Thomas is now providing a <strong>measurable</strong>, <strong>British</strong> solution.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> A solution where you can potentially <strong>visit the farm</strong> that is saving the carbon and see what they are doing, why they are doing it and the difference it is making.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> And not only will you be saving carbon, you will be helping that farmer on a transition from <strong>intensive to regenerative</strong>.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> Perhaps helping the farmer fall back in love with ecology, and biology and being custodians of the land for a short, but oh so important period of time.</p> <p>And if you are a <strong>restauranteur</strong> or work in <strong>hospitality</strong> in general, perhaps just asking questions, and caring more and more about where your food is coming from and who is growing it, is a great start point building momentum to support farmers who really want to be part of a <strong>positive movement</strong>.</p> <p>I’m utterly confident that <strong>Thomas</strong> and his <strong>Gentle Farming</strong> business and carbon credits are going to do well.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> I’ll be looking into buying some myself and offering support, and I hope you will too.</p> <p>Chat with Thomas on <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-gent-8973111aa/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Linked</a> in or follow Gentle Farming on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gentle_farming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> or <a href= "https://twitter.com/gentle_farming" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Twitter</a>.</p>
