Together, we explore the intricate connections between soil health, nutrient density, and human well-being, uncovering the often-overlooked factors that shape the quality of our food.</p><p><br></p><p>In this chat, Joel breaks down the science of nutrient density. We discuss why nutrient density has declined over time, touching on soil degradation, modern genetics, and the unintended consequences of industrial agriculture. We also discuss minerals and why more is not always better!</p><p><br></p><p>Our conversation then shifts to the power of a generalist mindset in farming and food production.

<p>In this episode, I chat with Matthew Haggarty from Prospect Pastoral in Western Australia. His family, alongside Jane Slattery, practice Natural Intelligence Farming, an approach which is considered groundbreaking in many ways. </p> <p>Matthew's parents, Di and Ian Haggerty, have recently been awarded WA’s Australians of the Year which is a wonderful recognition of decades of regeneration on a mass scale, and sustainable production of top quality fibre and nutrient dense food. </p> <p>Matthew shares how they’re producing some of the best grain and wool globally by focusing on soil health, animal well-being, and natural processes. We’ll talk about how their wheat is easier to digest, why their sheep are thriving, seed health and epigenetics, and how they’re combining intuition with smart tech to farm better for the land. </p> <p>Matthew provides a wonderful insight into what “nurturing microbiomes with heart” really means.
