Podcast: Maximizing Soil Function at Bla-Kar Farms

Blake Vince | Derek Leahy2023-12-15

Soil is very much alive. And hungry too. Some estimates go as far as saying that there is more life in a teaspoon of healthy soil than there are people on the planet.

Join host Derek Leahy of Rural Routes to Climate Solutions as he interviews Canadian regenerative farmers and delves into the importance of supporting an agricultural system that not only prioritizes the health of our land and ecosystems, but also ensures the sustainability of our farmers and ranchers.
