About this listen
Is compost really the golden solution for regenerative farming? In this paradigm-shifting episode of the Regen Radio Podcast, we dig deep into the numbers behind soil building—from carbon emissions to megajoules of energy—and challenge the dogma of "green" practices.
📉 You’ll learn:
Why compost might not be as eco-friendly as it seems
How many hectares it takes to make enough compost for one hectare of crops
⚖️ The energy and CO₂ cost of compost vs. urea
Why vermicompost wins for nitrogen efficiency
🐄 The case for in-place fertility using microbes, cover crops, and livestock
What this means for smallholders, large-scale growers, and long-term sustainability
If you’ve ever assumed compost is always better, this episode will make you reconsider. It’s not about choosing sides—it’s about measuring the cost of every system we use to grow our food.
