What if your backyard could help save the planet—and your health? On this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil sits down with visionary landscape architect, author, and regenerative trailblazer Louis De Jaeger to uncover the radical link between soil health and human well-being. Broadcasting from Belgium to Canada, Louis shares how a mind-bending encounter led him to rethink what it means to be “human,” and why the microbiomes in our soil matter more than we think. They dig into the philosophy behind his new book Future Proof Landscape Design and explore practical, beautiful ways to transform spaces—whether it’s a modest garden or a thousand-acre island—into thriving ecosystems. From edible cities to “orderly chaos,” this episode is a rallying cry for reimagining land use, one patch of soil at a time.Set up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Purchase your Grow Renaissance Manifesto NFT here: https://app.growblockchain.net/store/allEach episode features inspiring stories and discussions on new ways to nourish our planet and its people.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, Neil is joined by Rich Bradbury—a rancher, writer, and systems thinker—who believes the future of agriculture won’t be built with more gadgets, but with grounded tools, good memory, and a clear sense of purpose. Drawing from a lifetime on the land and the quiet wisdom of regenerative pioneers like Tom Lasater, Rich explores how soil health, land stewardship, and community resilience are shaped not just by markets or machines, but by values and courageous choices. From rotating cattle on a fire-scarred lease to planting 60,000 trees against the odds, Rich shares how meaningful change in agriculture begins with doing the right thing—even when it’s hard to measure.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Dahlstrom sits down with Elspeth Hay—writer, forager, podcaster and author of Feed Us With Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food (New Society, July 2025)—to unpack the forest-rooted wisdom behind perennial nut trees as a regenerative alternative to field monocultures. Hay shares how a TEDx talk on edible acorns hurled her into a five-year journey of ancestral agroecology, unlearning the dominance of annuals and the myth that “no farms equals no food.” She delves into how replicating a single Asiatic tree lineage—like modern bananas, where the genetically uniform Cavendish cultivar has been devastated by Panama disease—is a recipe for collapse, and how the same extinction risk applies when hazelnut growers ignore diversity and rely on clones instead of “swarm breeding” thousands of nut lines to produce resilient, high-yield varieties. On the practical side, she urges listeners to start with their local keystone nut trees—like oaks, chestnuts, or hazel—that serve as ecological linchpins for habitat, food, and cultural memory.

This week on Pasture Prime Time, Neil sits down with rancher, writer, and unapologetic truth-teller Hobbs Magaret—author of Herd: The Animals That Gave Rise to Humanity and Why We Need Them More Than Ever. Hobbs brings a unique blend of cowboy heritage, ecological insight, and global grazing experience to the conversation. From bovine intelligence and soil as “insurance,” to the genetics behind resilient cattle breeds like the Mashona, Hobbs challenges both industrial agriculture and greenwashed narratives of sustainability. He shares lessons from Texas to Australia, and why cattle, when managed with herd density and rest cycles, aren’t just steak on a plate—they’re a keystone of planetary renewal. If you’ve ever wondered how ranching, ecology, and culture intersect—or why our future depends on animals more than we realize—this episode is a must-listen.

On this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Smith chats with Sophie Brauns, Director of Growth & Partnerships at RIPE (Rural Investments to Protect our Environment), about her winding path from political organizing and integrative health work into regenerative agriculture. They explore what “regeneration” truly means versus soil function, the promises and pitfalls of corporate sustainability commitments, and how we unlock capital (and policy) to reach farm gate levels. Sophie brings clarity, authenticity, and a farmer-focused perspective to the tough questions in agriculture today — what’s working, what’s greenwash, and where we go from here.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, we sit down with Sean Ortiz of EcoGem, a mechanical engineer turned entrepreneur and farmer, to explore how nature-based solutions like high-purity agricultural gypsum can help rebuild soil health and support the transition to regenerative agriculture. Sean shares his journey from launching a microalgae venture to founding We Are One Farms and leading EcoGem’s efforts to bring natural minerals to market. We talk about the differences between mined gypsum and synthetic sources, the crucial role of calcium and sulfur in soil and crop health, the importance of rehabilitation before regeneration, and how emerging technologies—from soil analytics to IoT and blockchain—are reshaping the future of farming.Contact Sean with EcoGem here!

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, Neil Smith sits down with Caleb Howerton — regenerative ag designer and long-time farmer — to dive deep into system design, permaculture, and landscape architecture. Caleb shares lessons from managing bison ranches and market gardens, and reveals how he now applies permaculture principles like keyline design and willow hedgerows to build multi-layered, resilient farms. We also explore the divide between traditional agriculture and permaculture, and why bridging scale and ethics is the future of regenerative agriculture. Tune in for insight, inspiration, and practical ideas for designing with nature.
