CCC S2E7 with Stephen Newman

from Char Chit Chat Hosted by Char Chit Chat

Episode 7 features Stephen who lives just north of Auckland on 23 acres. He is one of the farmers who receives food waste from the City To Farm project featured in Season 1 Episode 6. We talk about how he deals with that food waste on his property and what he is using the resulting biochar enriched compost for. We learn about Stephen's dung beetle breeding endeavour and how good dung beetles are for livestock based systems. Stephen's passion for regenerative agriculture comes across nicely and is evidenced with the work he does with Kaipara Regenerative Farming Group, Future Ready Farms, and Out The Farm Gate. We chat about each of these projects. Well worth a listen, thanks Stephen! Buy dung beetles: https://dungbeetles.co.nz/
