Farmers who are trying to improve our planet and the quality of and accessibility of food from the ground up? Some of my favourite show guests over the years have been farmers.

Nick Holliday of Belvedere Farm here in Australia, QLD, is full-time farming with regenerative principles and providing eggs, pork and beef. He and his family feed hundreds of families each week, through their CSA collective and other distribution partners. He has a background in union and community organising, law and freelance writing.

Nick doesn’t believe that “Vote with your Dollar” is going to fix this. Neither do I.

I had to bring him on the show to discuss what really will help make local, nutritious and affordable food accessible to more people and what will help us step beyond culture wars and political labels and into the overlaps we all have and need, for good quality food, and work together to apply the right kinds of pressure in the right ways to effect real change.

I hope you’re as inspired as I am in this conversation - and that you accept the “group homework” suggestion at the end. Imagine if we all did this homework this week?

Your Host,

Alexx Stuart
