Hosted by Shelley (an ex farmer and passionate rural advocate), the show digs into honest conversations from people on the land as they talk about their challenges, successes, and the benefits of shifting the way they farm. Shelley believes farmers aren’t the problem, they’re the solution. And keeping family farmers farming matters more than ever. episodic Biological Farming Roundtable podcast Copyright 2026 Changing Paddocks Copyright 2026 Changing Paddocks https://nutrisoil.com.au/ https://assets.blubrry.com/coverart/orig/3999850-1786330119.jpg Changing Paddocks Changing Paddocks is the podcast where farmers share the real stories behind transforming their farming systems.

Nakala sits down with Luke Harrington, founder of Re Gen Farming and a practitioner with more than 20 years in the regenerative space to explore why true regeneration isn’t just about soil. It’s about people. Luke shares his passion for rebuilding farming families, strengthening rural communities, and creating systems that allow farmers to thrive across generations. Together, they unpack practical, profitable regenerative farming approaches that support profitability and protect yield. From biological inputs to whole farm thinking, It’s a practical, grounded look at how biological systems drive yield, resilience, and simple steps to begin your transition. A must listen for farmers who want to grow more than crops — they want to grow a future.

John walks us through the discovery of osmo protectants in marine algae, the first commercial frost protection applications in Australia, and how foliar nutrition evolved from horticulture into broadacre cropping and pasture systems. Along the way, he unpacks the big picture: why nutrient inefficiency and crop stress quietly and significantly robs agriculture of their true potential yield, why nitrogen efficiency matters more than ever, and how products like ECTOL are designed to support healthier, more resilient plants without the boom and bust cycle of heavy urea use.

In part one of this two‑part series, they explore the motivations and challenges behind transitioning to regenerative farming. They also reveal some unexpected factors to watch for — insights that can help you regain confidence and control in your farm management journey.

What begins as a simple chat about who owns AI quickly opens into a deeper exploration of ethics, power, risk, and opportunity. Nakala and Nige unpack the major players behind today’s AI platforms, how algorithms shape the answers we receive, and why farmers need to stay alert as technology accelerates faster than policy.

Nakala then switches on voice‑activated ChatGPT and interviews it as an “AI agronomist,” asking it to respond to real‑world farming scenarios. Together, they explore how AI could support farmers with soil tests, rainfall patterns, sowing windows, pest prediction, grazing management, nutrient density, and the future of on‑farm sensors.
