Turning waste into fertility

FFINLO COSTAIN
About this episode

In the final week of our 10 More Days of Groundswell series - I talk to Doug Wanstall (Director, Beyond Zero), Joshua Wade (Director SG Wade Ltd), and Lottie Hawkins (Founder, Earthly Biochar).

This an impromptu in-the-field conversation.

Circular farming is the regenerative idea that everything leaving the farm should come back as something useful.

Farmers funded through Defra's ADOPT programme are testing what that actually looks like: Black Soldier Fly larvae replacing soya in poultry feed, biochar produced from forestry and crop waste, and mushroom-and-biochar systems converting agricultural by-products.

The original panel was hosted in The Snug by the ADOPT Support Hub.
