Damian Buckley on Soil Health and Regenerative Agriculture in New Zealand
Trent Loos welcomes Damian Buckley from New Zealand to discuss soil health and regenerative agriculture. They explore how modern farming practices have damaged soil biology by focusing too heavily on chemical and physical fixes while ignoring biological balance. Damian and Trent compare farming methods from 1912, which relied on natural fertilizers and waste products, to today's yield-driven systems built on synthetic fertilizers. They dig into why soil biodiversity matters, how regenerative agriculture can restore damaged soil, and why bringing animals back into farming systems is essential. This episode offers valuable insight for farmers and anyone interested in sustainable food production.
