Andrew Randall has been practicing regenerative agriculture at Hyde Farm in Maidenhead, just west of London for over 10 years. He tells us about his farm, his transition journey to more sustainable practices and the key principles of regenerative agriculture.

- The 6 pillars of regenerative agriculture
- The short term benefits of tilling the soil vs the long term disadvantages
- No-till agriculture, soil structure, disc drills, tyne drills
- The benefits of increasing worms populations in farm soils
- Cover crops to improve soil health and fertility
- Crop rotation and diversification
- Reducing chemical disturbance
- Difficulties in transitioning to regenerative farming
- How transitioning to regenerative practices helped increase profitability
- Resilience to climate change and unstable fossil fuel prices
- UK Government schemes to support regenerative agriculture
- The Soil Capital Program and carbon payments

This podcast was produced in collaboration with Soil Capital, a company that supports regenerative agriculture for food system resilience and climate action, by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health.
