ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The Agricology Podcast takes a fresh look at the most exciting topics in sustainable farming, food production and the natural environment, with the help of expert guests from across the country.
In 2020, we chatted with some of the movers & shakers in the fields, labs & food supply chains; focusing on sustainable farming practices in 'Agroecology in Focus' & speaking with innovating farmers 'In the Field.'
The Agricology Podcast returned in 2024 'In conversation with' an exciting line up of farmers, researchers, advisors & industry figures who set out to explore optimal carrying capacity - the practical, philosophical & pertinent.
This was followed in 2025 by a diverse range of voices exploring the complex & often polarising topic of tillage in our series titled 'To Till or Not to Till?". Later that year, 'Agroforestry Through the Elements' offered an exciting way to explore individual topics relating to trees on farms while emphasising the fundamentally interconnected nature of agroforestry systems.
Our new series explores sustainable farming and hyper-local food systems on the Isle of Arran in Scotland. We hope you enjoy it!
