New podcast episode out today features an interview with Canadian farmer Shorty Fensky on how a South Africa ag study tour augmented his view of soil health, highlighting lessons from native biology and how farmers worldwide tackle challenges like compaction and weeds.

This week on The Jill Clapperton Podcast, we’re diving into a topic that’s too often overlooked in agriculture: the mental and emotional health of farmers.

In the debut episode of The Jill Clapperton Podcast (formerly Tasting Terroir), soil scientist Dr. Jill Clapperton invites you to go beyond the marketing claims and get closer to the truth. Through in-depth conversation and powerful clips from her long-time network of farmers and researchers, Jill explores what regenerative agriculture looks like in the real world—and why it’s far more than a checklist or certification.
