  • Episode 108: At work in the ruins.

    Has to be the most thought provoking, challenging, reinforcing, heartening, illuminating podcast interview I’ve listened to in a long while. Such clear sighted map making and navigation along the multiple paths and ways we need to think about and negotiate to bring people and food back together if we are to make the best of life in a collapsing human world. Thank you both, Duvall and ffinlo, for re-energising this 70- something rural refugee of 50yrs seeking ways to rebuild and rejuvenate the ‘m... more

  • One of the Best

    Farm Gate is a fabulous podcast - not just because of the subject matter (which is fascinating and important) but also the delivery from both the host and guests. Questions are pertinent and intelligent, and the responses are considered and meaningful. An absolute pleasure to listen to, and so encouraging to hear from the pioneers and change makers making a difference in the complex and challenging world we live in. Thanks to all.

  • Insightful, Inspiring, Educational

    Just listened to the episode on Regenerative Agriculture and wish the entire podcast could be about this - so inspiring, thoughtful, and encouraging. Clearly looked at the issues and offered real world solutions.

    Also fairly impressed that they were able to talk to the ‘Conservative Environmental Network’ without falling about laughing (or weeping) at the irony. But the interviewer kept their cool and it was useful to hear how the ruling class justifies itself to itself.

    All round, really g... more

The New Land Use Framework for England explained
Q: What role do farmers and local communities play in this framework, and how will they be supported to adopt changes?
Farmers and local communities are central to the process; the framework aims to enable practical trials, provide better financial mechanisms (including private finance and public funding for delivering public goods), and establish delivery units to coordinate across government, with training and local engagement to build confidence and capability.
The New Land Use Framework for England explained
Q: How will framework priorities be assessed at local and regional levels, and what difference will that make for planning?
The framework emphasizes mapping resources and public value across government and the private sector to ensure a coherent alignment between financial flows and policy goals, while enabling place-based delivery through local authorities and governance structures.
"Being a prison officer really changed me."
Q: What are the key challenges facing regen farming today?
Financial literacy, understanding the true profitability and margin of regenerative practices, and the difficulty of translating long-term soil and ecosystem benefits into short-term cash flow, with emphasis on better communicating the value proposition.
"Being a prison officer really changed me."
Q: What does Regen mean to you, and how do you communicate it to skeptical farmers?
Regen is a defined set of principles applied with context-specific tools; she emphasizes clarity of definition and practical, context-driven application rather than getting bogged down in debates about what Regen is.
"Being a prison officer really changed me."
Q: How did your ADHD and early life experiences shape your approach to farming and leadership?
ADHD is framed as a superpower that contributes to quick thinking and problem-solving, but also required strategies to manage reactions and turn impulses into constructive actions, which influenced her dynamic leadership and teaching approach.
