Former professional big wave surfer Fergal Smith walked away from professional surfing a decade ago to begin a journey of becoming a regenerative farmer on the West coast of Ireland. In this conversation recorded in June 2022 Dan revisits Moy Hill for a third time and catches up with where Fergal is at on the evolutionary journey of Moy Hill Farm . Fergal is now working with livestock as a core tool in bringing back soil health, bio-diversity, carbon drawdown and growing nutritious food for the local community. This conversation is an open exploration of the challenges, complexity and nuance required in bringing life back to landscapes, feeding people healthy food and dealing with the challenges of the urgent transition from industrial agriculture to regenerative farming. https://www.moyhillfarm.com/

THE SPACESHIP EARTH PODCAST
We live on a life giving rock called Earth hurtling through space.
Like a spaceship, we have a finite amount of supplies with an intelligent operating system, called nature, which keeps everything replenished as long as we all respect and participate wisely.
In this podcast I’m in conversations with humans involved in regenerating life,
Shifting consciousness and re-imagining how we can live more beautifully and peacefully.
I talk with artists, writers, activists, designers, adventurers, healers, farmers, creative mavericks and more.
Their stories invite us to participate in the co-creation of life sustaining cultures.
In service to life.
Becoming crew on Spaceship Earth.
