  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should food, farming and nature "Hope Again"?
Q: Do you think that there are more MPs now and people within the periphery of the Labour Party that are starting to understand the opportunity of rural economic growth, the opportunity of farming and nature stacking, energy, all these things working together to deliver something which is important nationally?
Lines says Labour MPs are increasingly considering the countryside as a source of business, community and environmental value, and that the Network uses farmer voices and case studies to show what could be achieved.
Should food, farming and nature "Hope Again"?
Q: Do you think that farmers and people involved in the natural capital world who perhaps have been losing a bit of faith in the Labour Party should indeed hope again?
Lines says conference discussions focused on climate risk, investing in nature and improving food systems, but those themes need to be turned into action.
"Living adventurously" in the UK House of Lords
Q: What does she plan to do now that she's there?
She plans to scrutinize legislation, improve agricultural and environmental schemes, advocate for food security and regional food economies, and work on issues including refugee routes, arms exports, protest rights and clean water.
"Living adventurously" in the UK House of Lords
Q: Why was she chosen for the House of Lords?
The Liberal Democrats wanted to strengthen their peers' expertise on food and the environment, and approached Aglionby because of her professional work with farming, common land and rural policy.
Has the word 'regen' become toxic?
Q: Do you ever see a situation where the market will take that responsibility? Or do you think it's always going to be something that the government needs to do?
Batters argues that farm environmental benefits need an economic value and that taxpayers, markets and other participants must contribute to a model that rewards farms while remaining affordable.
