Über diesen Podcast
The Soils for Life podcast brings you the voices of farmers around Australia who are regenerating our precious soils and landscapes.
In each episode we share the stories of farmers who are discovering ways to farm with nature, and explore how we can all help more farmers to head in this direction, for healthier food, humans and planet.
These stories show how resilient, regenerated soils and landscapes can support profitable food-producing businesses, thriving and resilient people and regional communities, and abundant and nutritious food.
Produced by Grow Love Project and Soils for Life.
