Charlie's guest for this episode of TRJ is Bart Davidson. Bart has traversed a career in agriculture all his adult life and there are not many people Charlie knows who have such a broad skill set and experience in the agricultural industry, even rarer considering Bart was not born into a farming family.

His regenerative journey started with 'the trout that changed the world' at age 5. Through ecological studies, agronomy, organic certification, rigorous data collection & analysis, as well as holistic farm management, he has developed the rare combination of both instinctive feeling and analytical thinking.

Charlie caught up with Glen on his new farm to explore his regenerative journey.

His observations of the similarities between the principles of regenerative agriculture and his own business principles are refreshing to say the least.
