We'll hear from Jerry Alford from the Soil Association, Beth Metson from the Soil Association Exchange - and Lauren Baker from the Global Alliance for the Future of Food will tell us that we need to respect farmer experience and indigenous knowledge as much as we do peer-reviewed science.

I'll talk to Neil Nicholas from Coleg Sir Gar about slurry spreading, and Charlie Taverner from the FFCC will tell us what the UK government's got wrong about food security.

First up, I discuss the 'Land squeeze’ report with Nettie Wiebe from IPES-Food.

Farming at its best - agroecological or regenerative farming - can deliver a broad range of positive environmental and social outcomes. But at its heart, farming is a business. To scale the positives we need to scale the business of regenerative and agroecological agriculture - and for that we need investment.

Pelican Ag is a venture capital business that invests in regen ag technology - I wanted to know more about what venture capital is - how it can help regen ag - and what makes venture capitalists tick?

ffinlo Costain talks to Pelican Ag founder partners, Christopher Ramsay and Simon Evill.

Six Inches of Soil is the hit UK film that traces the trials and tribulations of three young farmers who are each trying to work regeneratively with their land.

Anna Jackson, farms an 800 acre mixed farm in Lincolnshire with her dad, Andrew - (0'50")

Beef farmer Ben Thomas has 75 acres of field and agroforestry in Cornwall - (16'24")

And Adrienne Gordon produces veges, salad and edible flowers in around four acres of market garden in Cambridgeshire - (29'36")

What exactly do the Soil Association mean by a Worm Hunt, and why do they want us to dance for these wriggly ecosystem warriors? Can venture capital really help to scale the transition to regenerative agriculture? Why has deer management become such a divisive issue in Scotland? And the latest UK Peatland Code revision is now open for consultation.

Do we seriously need to chop down more trees to address the climate crisis?

What about food? Is it possible to make a living from a third of an acre of land?

In a world struggling with antimicrobial resistance - what's the WHO doing downgrading a whole class of antibiotics?

And what about my farm - regenerative agriculture - it's a great idea, but it'll never work here!
