We’re back at Kachana Station this week, the site of the second most listened to episode on this podcast. And we've just recorded an update from here that will be out soon. But as recent guest Rachel Ward makes her way around the country, screening her new film and speaking with communities, news has arrived she’ll be doing likewise ahead of the major regenerative agriculture conference in Margaret River WA in a couple of weeks now. Episode 168 featured two chapters in effect – the first was with Rachel alone, and in the second we were joined by regenerative farming co-conspirator, and co-star in the film, Mick Green. This excerpt is that second chapter, recorded at Rachel’s farm earlier this year.

Here’s the opening blurb from episode 168:

Imagine transforming a cattle farm and family retreat into a carbon-sequestering biodiversity haven. What would it take? And how and why would you do it if you're a famed actress and filmmaker? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Rachel Ward, who embarked on this journey alongside former industrialised farmer and coal miner Mick Green. Their story is now the first Australian feature film on regenerative agriculture, and Rachel's first documentary. 'Rachel's Farm' has just premiered to acclaim in Sydney and Santa Barbara, and Rachel is about to tour the film around the country.

To hear the conversation in full, including ‘chapter one’ with Rachel and host Anthony, head to episode 168 (see the link below).

Head here for automatic cues to chapter markers, and a transcript of this conversation (note the transcript is AI generated and imperfect, but hopefully provides greater access to these conversations for those who need or like to read).

This conversation was recorded on 10 April 2023.
