R2Kast 408 – Thomas Gent on regenerative farming, agroforestry and carbon credits
Description
Today we welcome Thomas to the R2Kast 🎙️ A regenerative farmer exploring how agroforestry fits into a practical farming system and what that means for productivity, resilience and long term decision making. 🌾
We spoke about his farm, why he’s integrating trees into grazing and arable land, and how agroforestry can work when it’s designed properly rather than bolted on. A big part of the conversation focused on carbon credits. What they are, how they work, where the opportunities might be for farmers, and where the risks and uncertainties still sit. 🍎
It was a detailed and honest discussion about whether carbon markets are genuinely helpful for farming, how careful farmers need to be when signing up, and why understanding the long term implications matters just as much as the short term income. 🌍
