What Most Farmers Get Wrong About Regenerative Agriculture

from EcoFarm Aotearoa · host Ewan Campbell with co-host Stephen Brunton

In this episode, we hear directly from a fourth-generation farmer who is transitioning away from conventional, chemical-based agriculture and into a regenerative system, while building a premium food brand alongside it.After years of dealing with rising input costs, fertiliser reliance, and commodity pricing pressure, he began questioning the system. What followed was a shift toward regenerative principles: covering the soil, integrating livestock, eliminating synthetic inputs, and working with natural biological processes rather than against them.But this journey goes beyond farming practices.By producing eggs, yoghurt, and value-added products, and selling directly through a growing retail network, he’s proving that regenerative agriculture isn’t just about improving soil health… it’s also about creating a more profitable and resilient business model.Our FREE E-Book!https://www.ecofarmaotearoa.nz/download-our-ebook/Listen To An EcoFarmer’s Discovery:https://open.spotify.com/show/3wIgUUghlsKIje76E5tjBA?si=b4aa009579a34ac1⁠
