Dirt to Dinner part 1: Soil Special

Welcome to the Modern Farming podcast's newest three-part series, Dirt to Dinner, exploring the connections between soil, farming practices, and the food we eat. In our Soil Special episode, Brad and Nick dig deeper into the foundations of regenerative agriculture and its role in modern farming. Is regenerative the new organic? And what does that mean for farmers and consumers alike?

Topics Covered:

🌱 The history of soil science—how long have we really understood soil health?

🌾 Regenerative farming—a centuries-old practice, first referenced in 1753.

🌿 What is humus? The role of organic matter in soil fertility.

🔬 Rhizophagy and soil biology—how microbes help plants grow.

🍎 Brix levels in food—why they matter for taste and nutrition.

🚜 The real challenge for growers—farming isn’t just labor-intensive; it requires expertise in soil health, plant science, and ecosystem management.

Brad shares insights on how increasing biological activity in soil can boost Brix levels, leading to healthier, more nutrient-dense crops. Join us for a deep dive into soil science as we set the table for the rest of the Dirt to Dinner series!


🔜 Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll be joined by Dr. Jonathan Lundgren—agroecologist, Executive Director of Ecdysis Foundation, and CEO of Blue Dasher Farm. Dr. Lundgren’s research is shaping the future of regenerative agriculture, focusing on how biodiversity strengthens agroecosystems and rural communities. In our next episode, we’ll explore how ecologically intensive farming practices can enhance resilience, productivity, and the long-term sustainability of our food system. Don’t miss this insightful conversation!
