Beneath the Oxwich Adventures: A Year in a Motorhome with James Walters #VanLife #EcoAdventure

Regenerative Agriculture increases biodiversity, enriches soils, improves the land’s ability to drain water into streams and rivers, and enhances ecosystems. It aims to capture carbon in the soil and plants (biomass), reversing the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere that is one of the causes of climate change.

IN THIS EPISODE

Regenerative vs sustainable

Converting to regenerative

Why it’s such a big deal

Biodynamics is a regenerative, sustainable, and organic form of agriculture that aims to give back more than it takes. It’s about farming in a way that is ecological, ethical, and as part of nature with the knowledge that everything is connected. Instead of buying everything in, Biodynamic farmers aim to be as self-sufficient as possible, seeing their farm as its own ecosystem. Biodynamics is practiced globally by farmers, winemakers, gardeners, beekeepers and supported by researchers, advisors, and trainers. Biodynamics can be practiced at a farm scale or in the garden and allotment.

Hello, I am James Walters and I started Nafford Junction because if we don’t improve how we live then life will become difficult in my lifetime and impossible within my son’s lifetime. The facts are right in front of us; we are responsible for climate change, we have taken too much of our planet’s natural resources, and we produce too much waste. We have to give back more than we take out…

When we say sustainable we mean doing things that improve our lives, our planet, and the lives of future generations; regenerating to put back more than we take out; putting people and planet before profit; living in a way that could be sustained forever.

Here we look at; why I left my job to start Nafford Junction and help inspire others to grow, eat, and live sustainably.

So, why did I leave a secure job and decent salary?

Why do I want to help reverse climate change and global heating?

Well, we’ve been living in a bubble. A bubble that existed when I was born, in the 1970s. A bubble that you may feel today. I’ve heard people say “the planet hasn’t let us down yet”. Global heating feels obvious to me, but that’s because I’ve been looking.
