In this episode, we sit down with Dan Kittredge, farmer, founder of the Bionutrient Association, and educator behind the world’s first Certificate-Level Masterclass in Nutrient-Dense Food.

Dan is at the forefront of groundbreaking research, measuring and defining food quality—and linking it directly to how it’s grown. This conversation dives deep into the medicinal potential of food, exploring how growing food in the the right growing conditions can not only enhance human health but also reverse chronic disease, reward farmers producing high-quality food, and contribute to climate restoration.

Dan is currently on a world tour, bringing his Certificate-Level Masterclass in Nutrient-Dense Food to Australia this April. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from a global leader in regenerative agriculture.

In this episode we give you an inside view of what WORM FEST 2024 is about. How it came to be, why and what to expect!

Joel Williams talks about his love of amino acids and biostimulants with nutrient delivery and how at WORM FEST 2024 he is going to be diving into the science of what powerful tools lie beneath these often-mysterious names.

WORM FEST 2024 is likened to Ground Swell a UK, Festival that provides a forum for farmers, growers, or anyone interested in food production and the environment to learn about the theory and practical applications of regenerative farming systems.

Can WORM FEST 2024 be this BIG?! Take a listen to find out.

In this episode of our podcast, Nakala and David offer a rare glimpse behind the scenes at NutriSoil headquarters. We’re introducing you to a key figure in our team, the ‘Worm Whisperer’ himself, Darren Maddock. While Darren might be a bit of a hidden gem in our operations, his contributions are vital to the NutriSoil business.

Darren delves into his reasons for taking on the family worm business, sharing his passionate views on farming and his aversion to chemical usage in agriculture. His commitment to natural processes is not just a philosophy; it’s a practice that has led to significant successes, particularly in using NutriSoil to improve animal health.

Listeners will gain valuable insights about running a commercial worm farm and Darren will give his top three tips for maintaining a thriving, healthy worm farm at home.

But there’s more to Darren than worms and farming. He’s also a talented musician and artist. As a special treat, at the end of the podcast, we give you a sneak peek of one of his own compositions, a song titled ‘Testing Times’. We hope you enjoy!
