450. Regenerative Farming insights for eaters and farmers with Margaret River Organic Farmer
It’s a Farmer Insights show this week, designed to inspire eaters to upgrade their food sourcing practices and for farmers, whether organic or regenerative farming curious, to gain insights into how others are achieving success, saving money, transitioning, managing weeds and pests, and more.Lawson and Laura from Margaret River Organic Farm in Western Australia embarked on a mission to relocalise the food system, rehab the land they farmed to be in peak condition, restore biodiversity, and build a thriving farm - plenty of insights, tips, and tricks shared. I love featuring regenerative farmers from a range of methods and locations around the world because eaters get inspired to prioritise food over “excess things” and support the farmers who prioritise plant and animal health, biodiversity, minimised synthetic inputs and nutritious food produced. Enjoy, share and support your farmers however you can do so: Could you cut out a middle-person or two in your food supply chain with a couple of items, even, just to get started? Challenge issued!

448. Eat 2 venison steaks a year to save the environment? The opportunity in addressing invasive species, with Tara Medina
A food system show with a difference today and I can’t wait to hear from our global audience how these issues play out where you live, too! What if eating a particular type of red meat - even just a couple of times per year - made a huge amount of environmental, economic and nutritional sense?Well, if you have an invasive species deer problem, like Australia does at the moment, then it makes a great deal of sense. After this show, you will know: Why Invasive species are destructive to environments and farms How big the opportunity is if eaters increase their consumption of venison and if Australia markets it for export. Why real change is going to happen by first focusing on YUMMY FOOD and accessible messaging for people - meat pies, sausage rolls and dim sum! What different countries are doing to address invasive speciesHow we can all be a part of the solution! You’re left wondering: WHY have we let it get so bad without any serious investment - especially when we stand to gain economically as a country if we do, like Maui and NZ have?AND WHY NOT send some serious investment dollars to the people setting up the processes and opportunities. Take 5 minutes to share this show and a note with your local representative - I sure as heck have! I’m so thrilled to have Tara Medina back on the show, who works in collaboration with wonderful chef and past guest also, Jo Barrett - I’m excited about the work they do at @discovered_foods Enjoy the show Alexx xWant to learn more about this week’s guest?

Hello! Welcome to the Low Tox Life podcast - the place to bring your low tox life to life across all low tox pillars: Food. Body. Home. Mind. Planet. We cover it all to support you and your goals with some of the best minds in the world joining me each week. I'm Alexx Stuart, your host, and in 2009 I coined the term 'low tox' and started lowtoxlife.com. From there I've created 10 courses and had 2 books published (Low Tox Life and Low Tox Life FOOD; I've written countless research articles and recipes to inspire a low tox life. I am thrilled to bring this podcast to you as an extension of the online community, filled with multi-passionate people from around the world. The concept of living a Low Tox Life is one that rejects perfection, black and white notions of there only being one way to 'do it right'. Instead, we take a relaxed and curious approach to better choices to incorporate into our lives as and if they fit. Low Tox therefore instead of 'no tox' as people come together from all walks of life; from cities to regional and remote areas to work from our overlaps and all be part of the many solutions toward healthy people and planet. Forget wasting time feeling bad about what you're not doing or you didn't know yesterday. Let's feel awesome about what we can learn and do from today! Thanks for being here. I just know you'll be inspired as I am by each show. Enjoy, subscribe, pop the kettle on and most importantly: Welcome!For more, head to www.lowtoxlife.com and for easy back-catalogue exploring of the podcast, by topic type that you're most looking for, head to https://www.lowtoxlife.com/low-tox-life-podcast-index/And if you share a show, be sure to tag me at @lowtoxlife on Instagram so I can share it too!
