Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Agroecology Around Arran: Arran's Dairy Story
Q: Matthew, Arran Dairies has been part of the island food system for a while now. Can you tell us a bit about how the dairy began and the role it plays on the island today?
Arran Dairies started in the late 1970s as grandparents adapted to partialisation laws by centralising milk collection, pasteurisation, and bulk handling to support small farms; today it remains a core part of the island's dairy processing, with ice cream and liquid milk being key products alongside local vending machines that keep milk in the community and reduce food miles.
Agroforestry Through the Elements - Fire
Q: What role do hedgerows play in working with climate change?
Hedgerows help buffer against climate change by providing shade, shelter, and improving microclimates, thus contributing to more resilient agricultural systems.
To Till or Not to Till - In Conversation with Tom Martin
Q: To tell or not to tell, what would your answer to that be?
Well, I thought originally you were saying to tell or not to tell. I thought, well, I think I'm going to have to tell this is a podcast, after all.
To Till or Not to Till - In Conversation with Julia Cooper
Q: Is there a way in which we can have fully organic potatoes?
It's challenging; organic farmers need to control weeds effectively, often relying on tillage during the potato phase.
To Till or Not to Till - In Conversation with Julia Cooper
