From soil-free hillsides turned market gardens to chickens making compost at speed, this is regenerative agriculture at its most ambitious and inspiring. You’ll hear how agroforestry, holistic grazing, and circular food systems come together to form a living, breathing model for farming in the age of climate crisis.🎧 Whether you’re a farmer, food systems thinker, or simply curious about how to grow hope in damaged landscapes, this episode is essential listening.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯🧠 What You’ll Learn:How Terramay produces over 85 tons of vegetables on rocky land with zero external inputsWhy composting with chickens can radically speed up fertility cyclesWhat it takes to run a restaurant where 90% of the food is grown on-siteHow rotational grazing builds resilience and nutrient densityWhy regenerative farming is also a powerful tool for rebuilding rural communities🌍 For listeners in:Sustainable food & farmingOrganic and biodynamic agricultureEcological design and permacultureClimate adaptation and land use policyCircular economy and rural innovationHit play and discover how a piece of land on the edge of Portugal is becoming a blueprint for the regenerative future we need.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯This podcast was produced in partnership with Soil Capital, a company that supports #regenerativeagriculture by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health & biodiversity.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Useful links: TERRAMAY - https://www.terramay.com/Hosted by Ausha.
