The Farming Discovery That Turned Conventional Agriculture Upside Down


Listen Later

In this episode, Stephen and Ewan are joined by Robin Claire, host of Cultivated Audio, for a fascinating conversation exploring soil health, regenerative agriculture, and the hidden forces shaping the future of farming.


What begins as a discussion around farming systems and mineral balancing expands into a deeper exploration of soil biology, electrical conductivity, microbial life, livestock health, and the complex relationships connecting soil, plants, animals, and people.


Drawing on decades of hands-on farming experience, Ewan shares the observations and discoveries that led him to investigate the electrical properties of soil and how minerals, biology, and natural systems work together to drive productivity, resilience, and ecosystem health.


Through the EFA lens, this episode challenges conventional agricultural thinking and highlights the importance of observation, curiosity, and farmer-led innovation in building healthier farms and food systems.


We discuss:
• The hidden electrical activity within healthy soils
• How minerals influence plant, animal, and human health
• The role of cyanobacteria, microbes, and biology in regenerative farming
• Why observation and on-farm experimentation matter
• Building resilient farming systems that work with nature
