90. Tom Bjorksten: Pioneering Syntropic Agriculture in Australia at Misty Creek Agroforestry

"The future of Food is in Agroforestry" says Tom Bjorkston, the founder of Misty Creek Agroforestry, a regenerative farm in the Northern Rivers of NSW producing beyond organic eggs, chicken and various seasonal crops.

We discuss the cutting edge syntropic and agroforestry practices that Misty Creek are implementing to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that enhances soil health and nutrient density in food production.

The conversation highlights the function of Nguni cattle for regenerative grazing, the challenges of direct-to-consumer model, regulatory nanny state creating regulatory barriers for small scale farmers, the potential for regenerative agriculture to revitalize rural communities and more.
