The Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture has a lofty mission: to change the food system. It’s an idyllic, sustainability-focused farming property just north of New York City. Jason Grauer is their Crops Director. Jason left his career in asset management to follow his passion for what he calls “soil-based” agriculture, focusing on seed genetics. But how can a 400-acre, non-profit farm influence practices in large, commercial farms?
In this final wrap up episode of our regenerative agriculture series, the team from AgThentic is giving you OUR verdict. Sarah is joined by Matthew Pryor, Partner at AgThentic and co-founder of Tenacious Ventures, to discuss what it will take to move beyond the polarizing debate over whether regen ag is good or bad.
Our panel of farming experts debate whether regenerative agriculture can help farmers be more sustainable and profitable, or if it’s all hype.
Richard Leask, a South Australian wine grower, and Toby Grogan, a natural capital specialist from Impact Ag, share their insights on how regen ag is improving soil health and profitability. While Tasmanian mixed farmer, Will Bignell explains why he remains sceptical of regenerative agriculture, despite measuring soil carbon himself.
