This time I interviewed Ian McSweeney director of the Agrarian Trust. The Agrarian Trust’s mission is to support land access for the next generation of farmers. Supporting all stakeholders, from farmers and community members to activists and investors in this absolutely key process. The Agrarian Trust decided to work with the oldest organic and regenerative farms (with the best soils and ecosystems) of the country and focusses on getting the next generation of farmers on this land. These farms give the new farmers a head starts of a few decades as they are much more resilient to drought, pest infestations etc. are able to do so much more with so much less in terms of labor and time.Instead of focussing on getting new farmers on them on land with poor soil, poor infrastructure etc. 

Some highlights of our conversation:

  • Great wealth has been accumulated in this country through extractive industries. We need to collectively realise that the returns and wealth we got used to are based
