Healthy soil equals healthy crops. That’s the simple truth at the heart of Sea2Soil’s mission – and it’s the focus of our brand-new podcast series, The Sea2Soil Podcast. Hosted by Sea2Soil’s Grant James, the series dives deep into soil biology, soil health, and the regenerative practices that are transforming agriculture around the globe.

In our very first episode, Grant sits down with Steve Townsend of Soil First Farming, a leading consultancy helping farmers reduce costs and boost profitability through conservation agriculture and improved soil management. Steve brings decades of hands-on experience, guiding farmers through the transition from conventional methods to regenerative systems that put soil biology at the centre of farm success.

What you’ll hear in Episode 1

• The link between soil health and profitability – why better biology under the surface reduces costs and increases yields.

• Conservation agriculture explained – how minimal soil disturbance, residue cover, and crop diversity create more resilient farming systems.

• The role of carbon in soil ecosystems – and how products like Sea2Soil fit into building stronger microbial activity.

• Practical steps to start a regenerative journey – from rotation planning to equipment considerations.

• The hidden impact of soil erosion – and why the best part of your soil is what’s washing away.

Steve also shares insights from farmer-to-farmer knowledge networks like BASE UK, highlighting the power of community learning when adopting new approaches.

Why start listening to this podcast?

Grant James explains: “At the end of the day, if we don’t have healthy soil, we don’t have healthy crops. Through these conversations, I want to help farmers and growers understand their soil biology – and show that small changes can have huge benefits for productivity and sustainability.”

Listen to Episode 1: Rethinking Soil for a More Profitable Future

At Sea2Soil, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to improving soil health or building a resilient farm system. Every field is different, every farm is different, every grower faces unique challenges - but one thing remains constant: the power of shared knowledge and practical insight.

That’s why we’ve launched The Sea2Soil Podcast - a brand-new series of honest, expert-led conversations diving deep into the world of soil health, regenerative farming, and sustainable agriculture.

What It’s All About

Hosted by Grant James, Sea2Soil’s Business Development Manager and trusted voice in the farming community, the podcast brings together leading figures from soil consultancy, agronomy, regenerative farming, and more.

Each episode is designed to give you:

• Straight-talking insights from those working directly with soils every day
• Real-world examples from farms across the UK and Europe
• Tangible takeaways you can apply in your own systems - whatever your setup
• Whether you're a grower, agronomist, or farm advisor, this podcast is for you.

Why We Created It

Sea2Soil is about more than just producing effective soil improvers - we're on a mission to support the transition toward healthier soils and better farm resilience. That means putting the right voices in the spotlight and creating space for conversations that matter.

We’ve been out in the field, not in the studio, recording episodes that speak to the real challenges and big opportunities in soil management today.

Each episode is packed with scientific knowledge, on-farm experiences, and practical tools to help you adapt, improve, and future-proof your soil health strategies.
