In this special rewind episode, we revisit an inspiring conversation with Alfonso Chico De Guzman, a regenerative farmer in Spain tackling one of the region’s most pressing challenges: water scarcity. Spain’s agricultural landscapes are battling extreme dry spells followed by torrential rains, and Alfonso has been leading the charge in transforming his family’s centuries-old farm using innovative regenerative practices.

🔑 Key topics discussed in this episode:

• Regenerative Hydrology: How digging swales and creating ponds helps retain water, reduce erosion, and recharge groundwater.

• Reviving Degraded Soils: Transitioning from conventional to regenerative farming to double soil organic matter and boost fertility.

• Technology for Regeneration: Virtual fencing for cows and drones to map water flow are game-changers in Alfonso’s approach.

• Biodiversity & Erosion Control: Vegetation strips between trees not only prevent erosion but create vibrant ecosystems.

This conversation dives into the practical side of regenerative agriculture, showing how small, strategic changes can revolutionize a farm’s resilience and ecological health. Whether you’re a farmer, a sustainability advocate, or simply curious about how we can better manage our natural resources, this episode is packed with actionable insights and hope for the future.

🎙️ Tune in to learn how Alfonso is not only regenerating his land but inspiring others to embrace nature-based solutions.

In this special rewind episode of the Deep Seed Podcast, we revisit an inspiring conversation with Anthony Pearce, a dedicated regenerative farmer from the UK. Anthony shares his journey from conventional farming to embracing regenerative practices, talking us through the challenges and rewards of transitioning to a farming system that prioritizes soil health, biodiversity, and resilience.

We explore:

• What it’s like for farmers to shift from conventional methods to regenerative agriculture.

• The farm economics of regenerative practices: balancing yields, cutting input costs, and leveraging carbon credits.

• The role of incentives, resilience against extreme weather, and overcoming the often-overlooked social pressures farmers face during this transformation.

• Why regenerative agriculture appeals to a new generation of farmers—and how it’s reshaping the future of farming.

Anthony also provides fascinating insights into the tools of regenerative farming, like strip-till drilling, and explains how minimizing soil disturbance can reduce carbon emissions, improve soil fertility, and create healthier, more productive ecosystems.

If you’ve ever wondered why regenerative agriculture is crucial for our food systems and the environment—or why some say we only have “50 harvests left”—this episode is packed with powerful answers.

Tune in to uncover how farming that works with nature can deliver nutritious food while securing a better future for our planet.

In this special highlights episode, we revisit a powerful conversation with Duncan Williamson, global expert on sustainable diets and food system transformation. Duncan’s insights provide a wake-up call on the global food system’s deep-rooted challenges—from biodiversity loss to malnutrition—while offering a hopeful path toward regenerative, resilient, and culturally diverse food systems.

Throughout this episode, Duncan discusses how our current industrial food model, driven by profit, has serious consequences for our planet and our health. He shares shocking statistics: 50% of the global population is malnourished, biodiversity loss is accelerating, and our dependence on monocultures makes food systems dangerously fragile. But there’s hope. With solutions like agroecology, sustainable diets, and re-localizing food production, Duncan maps out a vision for a future where food systems nourish both people and the planet.

Join us as we revisit this eye-opening discussion on food system reform, emphasizing agricultural biodiversity, soil health, and regenerative practices. Discover how supporting these shifts can help tackle the climate crisis and promote true food equity.
