Widely considered as THE immersive ‘regen ag’ event, content centred on principles of regenerative agriculture – minimising soil disturbance, keeping the soil surface covered, maintaining living roots, maximising crop diversity, re-introducing livestock to the farm. The duo connected the ‘dots’ of soil, farming and health, and how good regenerative farming practice ticks all the boxes. Session moderator, Mallika Basu, a food writer, commentator and podcast host probed Abbew for his views on junk food, health, and why. Wildfarmed co-founder Andy Cato gave an honest account of his journey into regenerative farming in conversation with food strategist Henry Dimbleby, author and co-founder of Leon Restaurants.
