    Ep 45: Reduce, Reuse, Re-Farm - Investigating Regenerative Farming

    Ep 45: Reduce, Reuse, Re-Farm – Investigating Regenerative Farming In this episode, Charles and Amy are tackling regenerative farming, now that farmers are needing to become more and more resilient, with farms that are sustainable and adaptable to change. They also discuss Teagasc’s search for a vet panel to look after their livestock, the VetLife charity’s upcoming fundraiser that will see a roof climb of Alexandra Palace and how EU Pet Passports will no longer be valid for pet owners of dogs, cats and ferrets, from countries outside of Europe (including the UK). First up is Lee-Anne Oliver, Director and Veterinary Consultant at Ruminant Revival in the UK, who speaks with Charles about how choosing to farm regeneratively must stem from a belief that what you are doing is going to benefit you, your animals or your farm. Also joining Charles is Vet, Dairy Farmer and member of the Veterinary Herd Health Advisory, Gillian O’Sullivan, who is also Charles’ own neighbour! She discusses how ‘regen’ farming relates to improving soil health and resilience to external shock, that will provide a farm with capacity to deal with unforeseen external circumstances Don’t miss this week’s VetVoice section, where we hear from Paddy McGinn, at DairyCon in Kilkenny.
