R2Kast 332 - Ffinlo Costain on Regenerative Media, Food Security and the Isle of Man


Listen Later

Today we welcome Ffinlo Costain onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ Known for founding the Farmgate Podcast and 8.9ha media platform, Ffinlo is a leading voice in agroecology and regenerative agriculture. He opens up about his journey from the Isle of Man NFU to running one of the UK’s most thoughtful agri-podcasts, championing land use reform through science-led storytelling. 🌾🎧


We dive into his early media work and his goal of changing the farming narrative from criticism to positivity. Ffinlo reveals how Farmgate evolved into a global platform for regenerative ideas, and why 8.9ha was born to unite food, fibre, and natural capital voices under one accurate, science-backed umbrella. 📚🌍


A passionate advocate for practical, investable change, Ffinlo shares powerful views on climate, conflict, and food security—warning that business-as-usual won’t take us past 2050. He offers hope through regenerative systems and nature-based solutions that support livelihoods and ecological recovery. 🌱⚠️


We also explore the roots of his identity on the Isle of Man, its Viking history, and why the phrase “whichever way you throw me, I stand” defines the resilient spirit of his heritage. This episode is rich with insights, urgency, and optimism for the future of land use. 🏞️🧠


Enjoy! 😊

Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support.
