Is Regenerative Farming Getting Greenwashed? (Your Radical Questions with Andy Cato)
5/25/202622 min
Oli Dugmore is in for Amol this week, and he's joined by Andy Cato to answer your radical questions about the regenerative farming movement. Before becoming a farmer, Andy was a successful musician and DJ as one half of Groove Armada. He sold the rights to his back catalogue to pursue a career in agriculture, pioneering regenerative farming methods though his company, Wildfarmed.
In this episode, we put Andy in the hotseat, and ask him your questions about regenerative farming, including the potential scalability difficulties, whether it is being used for greenwashing, the role of rewilding, and whether it could be adopted around the world.
