In this first episode of a brand new season of the Nutrition Farming Podcast, we will introduce an exciting, new six-pack format. Season 3 will now feature an agriculture focus, human health, humour, and an interview with a leading consultant or grower. It will also include a Q&A segment called “Three Questions” and an a component called “Rewarding Recipes”. This month, the farm input focus highlights the remarkable broad spectrum potential of a substance called wood vinegar. You will soon understand why this smoke condensate is destined to become a Nutrition Farming Essential. The human health component covers the balancing, and stress reducing prowess of supplements called “Adaptogens”. There is a healthy dose of larrikin humor and I share my recipe for Rainbow Sauerkraut. The new format is punctuated with acoustic gems by a musician called Sky Toes. I hope you enjoy it.

Recent astronomical rises in NPK prices and the increasing cost of farm chemicals signal a need to retune our strategies and explore alternatives. It’s now time to consider fertiliser efficiency, review mineral requirements and optimise all inputs. It may also be time to recognise the role of soil life in your profitability equation. In this final episode of Season 2, you will discover a host of tips and strategies to fast-track that super productive transition. The final human health segment for this year focuses upon your home garden as your ultimate wellness tool. Here, you will recognise that building soil health in home food production can seriously enhance the health of your family, your community and your planet.

Following on from last month's episode, here we continue to explore the potential of Plant Growth Promoters (PGPs). This information may be particularly timely in light of the massive price hike in NPK fertilisers and farm chemicals – perhaps it's now time to consider alternative yield-building strategies. In this episode, we focus upon chitinase and the capacity of this enzyme to boost protection and production. We will also look at liquid vermicast, and the exciting potential of this low-cost, DIY inoculum, as a PGP. The human health component further illuminates pathways to avoid the death of desire. Here, we will consider the health and longevity benefits integral to the reclamation of lost libido.

Discover the fascinating world of biostimulants in this month's episode of the Nutrition Farming Podcast. Natural inputs that stimulate plant health, resilience and yield are becoming essential tools to help counter both the extremes of climate change and the challenge of rising fertiliser costs. Biostimulants can include both natural substances and specific microorganisms. In part 1 of what will be a 2-part feature, we take an in-depth look at kelp, and learn about five remarkable Bacillus organisms that are Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB). The human health segment is entitled “The Death of Desire - In Search of Lost Libido”. Here, the focus is upon the critical importance of caring for your libido in terms of sexual health and wellness.

In this episode, we return to the mineral story with a focus on magnesium. This mineral seriously impacts photosynthesis, root growth, plant immunity and nitrogen use efficiency and yet it is so often ignored in the nutrition equation. Here you will discover the cost of that oversight, particularly relevant to climate change resilience. The human health component is entitled "Magnesium – the Master Mineral". This is our largest mineral deficiency and yet it is profoundly linked to heart health, stroke protection, immunity and stress.

After offering an avalanche of information over the past 16 podcasts, I decided it was time to condense this whirlwind into a simple ten point action plan to help you build your farm's profitability, sustainably. If you could tick off just half of this checklist, you would see measurable yield and quality increases. If you adopt all ten strategies, I promise you there will be smiles at season's end. The human health component this month is about butyrate and its impact on gut health. Here you will discover the remarkable healing potential of butyric acid, and learn about resistant starch, lectins and leaky gut.

This is a two-hour special that you might choose to enjoy in two or three sittings. In this fascinating, marathon episode, you will discover the benefits, the pitfalls and the profit-building potential of multiple composting methods. You will learn what to embrace and what to avoid in raw materials and we will review the exciting promise of the Johnson/Su Bioreactor. The human health component features the story of free radicals and the antioxidants that quell their fires.

A fascinating insight into the multi-function marvel that is mycorrhizal fungi. 90% of these remarkable creatures are missing in action in our farming soils. Here, you will realise what is means to have lost this workforce, and you will also discover just how they were destroyed. As usual, Graeme Sait will also provide the practical tips and strategies to reclaim this biological essential. The human health segment will focus upon a remarkable regenerative game changer, called autophagy.

Sulphur is considered the fourth most important mineral and yet it is deficient in most soils we test. In this episode, you will come to understand the price of this neglect. Plant, animal and human immunity are sulphur dependent. If you are seeking to reduce chemicals and increase sustainability and profit, then you really need to understand the dynamics of this key player. In this fascinating session you will discover when, why and how to use sulphur, and you will be gifted a recipe for an amazing, DIY, multi-purpose garlic spray. The human health segment will focus on liver health relative to all-important sulphur compounds.
