    Ep. 57 No Farms, No Food, No You with Anika Wulff

    In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Smith sits down with first-generation Australian vegetable and produce farmer Anika Wulff, who left city life and certainty behind to build a diversified organic farm from scratch in the Lockyer Valley — confronting floods, hailstorms, market pressures, and steep learning curves along the way. Annika opens up about what it really takes to grow food today, from soil building and greenhouse trials to engaging local customers and navigating the ups and downs of organic certification and competition. Together, they explore resilience, community, the true cost behind the “support your local farmer” slogan, and how transparency — even with emerging technologies like blockchain — can help rebuild trust between growers and eaters. Tune in for a raw, hopeful, and deeply human conversation about the people who feed us and what it means to keep farming in a changing world. Connect with Neil & Anika!Neil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Anika: https://www.instagram.com/anika_wulff...Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Join the Grow Skool here: https://www.skool.com/thegrowskool/ab...Each episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.

    Ep. 56 Why Regenerative Ag Means More Than Carbon

    In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, we sit down with Ben from Merge to unpack what “co-benefits” really mean—and why they matter beyond just carbon. We talk about how healthy soil, water quality, biodiversity, and nutrient-dense crops factor into a regenerative-agriculture system. Ben explains why carbon alone isn’t enough, and shares real-world examples like perennial grain systems (such as Kernza) that deliver layered benefits for soil, water, wildlife habitat, and food quality. Whether you’re a producer, buyer, or simply curious about sustainable farming — this episode offers a deeper look at what a holistic agricultural future could look like.Tune in if you want to understand how carbon claims can come with meaningful ecological and social value — and how we can tell that story with integrity.  Connect with Neil & Ben!
