#84 - How Natural Farming Empowers People | Chris Trump [Soil Steward]

What a pleasure to sit down with the amazing Chris Trump! Chris has spent years learning how farmers can work with biology rather than constantly relying on purchased inputs, and this conversation goes right into that bigger question: How much of what a plant needs can actually be provided by a functioning soil ecosystem?We talk indigenous microorganisms, soil biology, mineral nutrition, plant health and nutrient density, along with where biology fits alongside minerals and amendments.We also get into farmer independence, what Chris has learned from taking Natural Farming from theory into large-scale agriculture, and how we can start applying some of these principles in our own gardens and soils.A really interesting conversation about microbes, minerals, plants and ultimately learning how to work a little closer with nature!Follow Chris Here:https://www.instagram.com/soilsteward/https://linktr.ee/biomeiIf you enjoy these episodes and want to show your support to allow me to continue doing what I’m doing, the best thing you can do is subscribe or follow the show.
