ABOUT US
This podcast is for professional growers and agronomists who want to learn about the science and principles of regenerative agriculture systems to increase quality, yield, and profitability.
Many farmers and scientists have gained fascinating insights into farming practices which can regenerate soil health, plant health, and ecosystem health. Often these insights are not widely known.
On this podcast, John interviews these scientists and growers to learn about their observations and experiences, and to share management practices they have developed to regenerate farm ecosystems.
John and his guests describe why most growers have crop challenges, and how to resolve them. You will find straightforward, actionable information about growing that can be implemented right away to increase crop quality, yields, pest resistance, and climate resilience — to regenerate soil health, and most importantly, increase farm profitability.
This show is brought to you by Advancing Eco Agriculture, helping professional growers make more money using regenerative agriculture since 2006.

HOSTED BY JOHN KEMPF
John believes regenerative agriculture management systems can:
- Regenerate producer profitability;
- Produce crops with inherent resistance to possible infections by insects, bacteria, fungi, nematodes and viruses;
- Produce food with an elevated content of immune compounds;
- Rapidly sequester carbon;
- Build soil organic matter much faster than commonly expected;
- Restore hydrological cycles, cool the climate, and;
- Reduce the water requirements of a crop.
All of these benefits and more can be achieved by managing soils and crops in a manner that enhances rather than suppresses biological function.
John is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture, Crop Health Labs, Ozadia, and the Regenerative Agriculture Academy. He hosts the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, where he interviews top growers and scientists about the principles and practice of implementing regenerative agriculture on a large scale.
