The Regenerative Journey with Charlie Arnott

Geoff Ross really has a great yarn to tell. Having been involved in agriculture from a young age before settling securely into the marketing industry in New Zealand and subsequently starting a hugely successful vodka brand, Geoff gravitated to an incredible property in the South Island, turning his experienced marketing hand towards the promotion and production of regenerative and ethically grown wool at Lake Hawea Station, the farm he owns and runs with his wife Justine. His journey is one of determination to demonstrate how landscape can be managed in a truly regenerative way whilst sharing its beauty with the world.

Whilst Nicole is a world leader herself in soil science and an expert on all things underground, the topic of soil was a mere excuse to discuss a myriad of other subjects related to soil and landscape, like Bigfoot, introduced animal species, the relationship between love and trauma, rewriting history and the nature of polarisation.

Zach Bush has been physically absent from the Australian landscape for nearly 3 years, last in the country just days before the world shut down. Charlie's long-awaited in-person interview first lined up all those years ago with Zach was recorded amid his tour with the Farmers Footprint Australia team. As is Zach's habit, many topics were covered; the expression of Nature through human consciousness, the impossibility of human existence, extinction as an opportunity for the renewal of mankind, and what exactly is the genius of Zach (bonus content available to our Patreon members.....). A conduit of universal wisdom, and the most compelling global and human health advocate of our time.
