JONATHAN LUNDGREN - The bigger the farm, the sicker you are

Episode 41

Tuesday, November 10, 2026 • Duration 56:12

In 2011, President Barack Obama presented Jonathan Lundgren with the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for his work as an entomologist and researcher. This is a pretty high honour, in fact it’s the highest.

Jonathan came to Australia as a special guest of VicNoTill in 2016. He visited farms in our network and spoke at our annual conference about something we hadn’t heard much about in Australia at that time. Regenerative agriculture.

What many of our farmers may not have realised in 2016 was that this highly-decorated, knowledgeable and enthusiastic researcher was having a pretty rough time. What he was discovering through his research didn’t line up with what the government who employed him wanted to hear.

Back in 2016 Jonathan warned that the agricultural industry was using so many pesticides because it had created a pest problem. The solution he presented was to diversify farming, and to only 'resort to' using pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, not use them as a first option.

Lundgren has been running his own regenerative farming system to prove farmers can produce high yields, big profits and enough food by rotating crops to suppress pest populations naturally.

Ten years on and Jonathan work in the science field is gathering momentum and traction. Earlier this year, he was invited back to the White House to meet with President Trump to talk about regenerative agriculture, and in October his foundation Ecdysis, released the first Research Paper from the 1000 Farms project.

The key finding? The bigger your farm, the sicker you are.

The 1000 Farms project has just landed in Australia, and Farmers helping Farmers president Michael Gooden’s farm is one of around 16 being researched.

In this episode Michael has a long list of questions but before he can begin, Jonathan turns the tables and starts interviewing him.

He is seeking answers from Australian farmers like Michael who manage regenerative systems because they are the ones defining what ‘regenerative’ is;.
