An Uncertain World: How Will it Drive Food System (R)evolution? - Groundswell 2024
Speaker: Tim Benton
The world is increasingly an uncertain place: climate volatility is interacting with politics to create a more polarised, contested and unequal world, both domestically and internationally. This uncertainty affects the market and regulatory drivers of the UK food system, and how they might enhance, or hold back, a transition to a more sustainable future. How might the food system develop in the decades ahead?

I coverted my front lawn into a veggie patch using raised bed and practising no dig . Gardens are a huge underused resource for rewilding and and food production .
This was the best session I saw this year - very well chaired and great guests/speakers - thankyou all
What a great talk, thank you. I often feel doctors in Australia aren't interested in getting to the root of the issue. They don't have time I suppose, and few have the money. Take your health into your own hands.
I don't understand the use of the term aerobic compost. Do they mean thermophilic which is hot and aerobic because thermophiles are obligate aerobes?
Great talk by Josef Holzer ,shame about the dehydrated audience
Fantastic presentation
Ice cores ,,, interesting thought yet what caused the Earth's last major ice age to end. air travel?
Brilliant conversation. Thank you. I am now working out how I can attend Groundswell next year.
Kudos to those 5 🎉🎉🎉🎉, and of course organisers🎉🎉
@frusia123 It is now a year later. Kind of late for a response, but, here goes... To find out about better ways to produce meats, you might consider viewing a few of the videos on the following YT channels. • Allen Savory • Roger Savory • Greg Judy • Dr. Allen Williams • Gabe Brown • Ray Archuleta • Dr. Fred Provenza • Dr. Christine Nichols • Dr. Nichole Masters • Joel Salatin • Dr. Elaine Ingham of the Soil Food Web School • Richard Perkins • John Kempf of Advancing EcoAgriculture • Real Organic These are off the top of my head. There are many more people out there, also looking at the connection between soil health and human health.
I don't think UPFs are "highly palatable" at all. If I couldn't cook tastier food than that rubbish, I'd throw away my apron.
Great stuff guys. So interesting.
I worked in conventional intensive and extensive agriculture for many years. I was of course exposed to many chemicals in the UK and Australia. I became chemically sensitive and can attest to this doctors example of a patient who can not now be in close contact with someone wearing perfume.
Ditch the '30 plants a week'
Why?
@@vivalaleta Look into lectins, oxalates, etc. Plants are not always safe! They have defense mechanisms, which harm predators, US! They can't run so these defense mechanisms serve them well.
The 30 includes things like pepper, herbs and seeds. Ruminants grow better and are healthier when they eat a diverse diet, it’s the same for MOST humans.
@sookibeulah9331 There is no evidence for this. Many people follow carnivore diets, consuming no plants at all. They seem to be thriving, even after decades of eating that way. You may wish to look up Dr's Shawn Baker, Anthony Chaffee, Ken Berry.
Governments can only screw up. That is the most consistent outcome when people interested in power step in to _fix the problem._ A feature of every history book on any topic. They can't help themselves, their ego, their legacy, their clique are breathing hard on the back of their necks. Open Markets is the human solution where there are no places for these people to tell anyone what to do, to think, to sell or buy. Adam Smith: read and understand or slot right into *part of the problem* strata.
Let’s study AMP under photovoltaic panels:)
Yes! There are some doing sheep mob grazing under solar panels.
So good to finally watch this as missed it at Groundswell. Exciting to hear about the 'true cost of food' project with Deloitte - what a massive gap that will fill
Gabe Brown! I got googoo eyed when he said that name.
Unbroken prairie is fragile soil? I don't understand that remark at all.
Great speakers. We love regenerative agriculture.
For the US and loving how there are there are so many here on the same page. Carbon Cowboys
Hellooooo there is no fibre in animal foods!!!!! There are no phytochemicals in animal foods!!!! Where are you getting your information????? People can say anything and have someone believe it .
A wonderful future for farmers awaits. It's win win. Gabe Brown has a great story about over coming agricultural adversity and finding his way to regenerative ag.

The honesty of using the f word whilst you spoke made me laugh😅 wish i had done that there a few years ago😢
Keep governments and corporations out of it
Can anyone point me in the right direction with bacillus bacteria please? I assume they're brewed and mixed in the sprayer?
The parts of this presentation that show growers coming to terms with what they’ve been doing and then facing up to the need for change, which can be very daunting, are hugely powerful. It’s a bit like realising that how you’ve lived your life and brought your kids up has been heading in a wrong direction and that you’ve actually ended up, in some important aspects, doing the opposite of what you thought was right. As a farmer myself, I know this feeling. Credit to all involved in this film for their honesty and basic decency👏
Brilliant to be about to catch up on this having missed it on the day. 👏👏 to everyone that made the whole event such a success again.
Amazing conversation! Really enjoyed learning more about what's next
Снижение давления в шинах - частичное снижение их влияния на пористость почвы. Фермеру приходится выполнять работу на поле и в условиях повышенной влажности почвы, что существенно снижает пористость почвы даже при уменьшения давлениях в шинах! В но-тилле выход есть. Это переход на постоянные большие полевые гряды - все машины должны двигаться только по одной колее! Кроме того, следует полностью отказаться от дисковых сошников! Они также существенно уменьшают пористость почвы. В результате корневая система имеет форму "ирокеза"! Reducing tire pressure is a partial reduction in their effect on soil porosity. The farmer has to work in the field and in conditions of high soil moisture, which significantly reduces soil porosity even with reduced tire pressure! There is a way out in no-till. This is a transition to permanent large field ridges - all cars must move on only one track! In addition, disc coulters should be completely abandoned! They also significantly reduce soil porosity. As a result, the root system has a “Mohawk” shape!
Great chat John and Keon. I appricate your work. I prefer to listen to long form podcast. I find them more interesting and informative than reading books or white papers. I feel as throw I have connected to the people and their stories in the interviews! Thank you.
Great to welcome John to the UK!
The confluence of two factors makes Regen farming at scale relatively simple to achieve. The expanding influence of the carnivore diet (optimally set at only consuming fatty ruminant meat, salt and water: for some and eventually most as old attitudes towards food die out) and the gentle nature of pastoral use of arable land should see (a) billions of acres returned to wildlife and recreation, (b) restoration of entire ecosystems (where possible), (c) clean water rivers and lakes, and (d) drought-proofing the little bit that remains for human use. However the best place to raise hearty, common sense kids is on a farm so many smaller farms are better for society.
If you couple restorative ag (over more general regenerative ag) with hyperlocalized earthworks to harvest rainwater, --we can increase the amount of land that sequesters carbon. These earthworks would reduce muddy water washing carbon/topsoil to the ocean, instead being carbon sinks. They would also increase regreening and further draw down carbon in areas long historically lost to overdrying conditions. This increases the area of carbon sequestration. Rainwater harvesting earthworks can be made just about anywhere, including cities in the form of bioswales. Bioswales are planted depressions using native or other biome appropriate plants that allow water to quickly soak excess rainwater runoff. They may have curbcuts and harvest streetwater, or handle roof runoff, etc. They can accumulate windblown trash for easy collection, add beauty, sense of place; reduce ambient temperatures; reduce paving buckling, ground subsidence, brownouts (because irrigation draws a lot of energy to pump it), crime; increases walkability/bikeability; reduce home cooling and heating costs; reduce heat island effects; irrigation costs; reduces flooding, drought and heatwave impacts; etc. Parking lot landscaping can easily convert existing landscaping to bioswales to reduce infrastructure expansion costs as well as maintenance costs. It's win-win-win...
CO₂ is not the GHG some (less honest) humans want it to be. 2. To get cleaner open water (rivers, lakes), restore water tables, resist drought, etc. farmers et.al. create armoured, aggregated soil that soak up rain where it fell at very high infiltration rates. 3. Swales can create downstream springs which weren't there before when that land was selected for other uses, oops. You need to think deeper grasshopper. Start by proving a trace gas @ .042%, Spec.Grav 1.5, has any part in Earth's climate except to indicate an Ice age has _officially_ ended. Like the scientists do.
@@peterclark6290 Lol, you are asking the wrong person to discuss climate change. I am trying to improve soil, regreen and recharge groundwater in a hyperlocaluzed way, and harvesting rainwater, changing ag methods, etc. I think it's more important to work on building resources than to solve for controversial claims about human caused climate change. Try your argumentation elsewhere where it will matter more.
@@b_uppy Carbon sequestration is a climate change mantra. If your goal as stated above are true then why haven't you discovered the _soil sponge_ argument provided by Regen as the first major benefit of its practises? You are miles away from seeing the bigger picture.
Great talk nichole madam🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏, from India🇮🇳
"BTW, it means plants are not vegetarian" 😂
John was in prime form here.
John Kempf spoke at groundswell!!! I'm so excited, I may wet my plants : ) Thanks, all, for putting this on! -Kat
Can’t believe we need this kinda science to tell us growing plants are beneficial. How’s out of touch have we become
When we have multi billion dollar marketing budgets trying to gaslight farmers into purchasing their “solutions“ that’s what it takes. We need to cross our T’s and dot our i’s. But yes, the truth is plain to see science or not.
Nice, Peter is coming to KZN at a mere 10 minutes drive from my farm (I am Dutch myself). Won’t be able to make it myself, which is a massive disappointment, but I have told everyone I know in the vicinity to attend. Have fun there, SA is great and the people are fantastic. There are lots of little signs everywhere that people are getting into regenerative farming, I am sure his words will hit fertile soil.
What’s SA and KZN?
@@sookibeulah9331 South Africa and Kwazulu Natal
Great stuff! Thank you, Peter!
Woooo!
This very awesome as advanced knowledge and distilling it down to field scale is possible..cheers Mr K
Brilliant. " Teaming with bacteria" by Jeff Lowenfels is a great book about the rhizophagy cycle. Explains it for the layperson. Thank you so much for uploading this lecture.
quite true.
Within minutes the carbon lie is assumed true. We need more, for greater plant life. Many scientists have debunked this narrative.
for foliar spray make sure you use fulvic rather than humic. they are out of the same batch but the fulvic has a smaller mol. weight so it penetrates better than humic acid. fulvic-foliat humic -roots
good job dude, I great supp. to Harley smiths 3 45 min videos (5-7 years back if u search) watch Harley b4 this
I have not found any other practical academic like Mr. Perkins. Knowledge, analytics, application, fiscal responsibility and innovation are his diligence and success. Nice work Sir. P.S. There should be 50,000 comments here. But farmers don't talk much.
