Description:

We have the solutions to all of our problems, but do we have the egos to fix them?

When presented with solutions that would challenge our social standing, financial interests or instilled values we shut down from accepting the solutions that bold thinking has allowed.

This week in Sarah's Country we Mike Taitoko from the new environment fund, Calm the Farm, pairing philontrophic New Zealanders loaning farmers a 0-1% loans to transition their farming practices to repair soils and water quality.

Sarah Perriam, the host of Sarah's Country, is joined by guest co-host Blair Miller, Group Manager for Environmental Research from Lincoln AgriTech.

Sarah also uncovers the success of curiosity into regenerative farming with Hamish Bielski, discuss stock prices with China recovering from Covid-19 with AgriHQ’s Mel Croad & Suz Bremner and learn how New Zealand’s ‘lifestyle’ is what appeals when selling our produce over our ‘natural’ elements.
