אודות פרק זה
Ultra‑processed food, exhausted soils and a warming planet are all symptoms of a food system that forgot how nature works.
On Earth Your While, Jack and Ellie talk to Tim Mead, organic farmer and owner of Yeo Valley, about the remarkable journey from a small mixed family farm to a household‑name organic brand. Tim shares how a tragic farming accident pushed him into leading the business, why he believes biology, not chemistry, should drive how we grow food, and how regenerative practices could help tackle both climate change and the health impacts of ultra‑processed diets.
Topics covered include:
- The Yeo Valley origin story and how Tim unexpectedly took over the family business
- Why ultra‑processed foods dominate our shelves and who’s really shaping our diets
- Organic vs regenerative farming – what they mean and why it matters
- The Yeo Valley Soil Carbon Project and how healthy soil can lock away carbon
- Why current food markets fail farmers and what needs to change
- Building a business “designed around nature”
