The Earthworm Revolution and the Future of Agriculture with Sam Baker, Wrigglebrew

Today I'm delighted to be joined by Sam co-founder of Wrigglebrew. 

Having witnessed first hand the devastating ecological impacts of excessive artificial fertiliser runoff on the aquatic environment, together with his business partner Gabe he started Wrigglebrew an ethical and fully independent regenerative agricultural company that has started a revolution capable of completely rewriting how large-scale agricultural fertilisers are produced and in so doing reversing many of the negative impacts that these inputs have on the wider environment. After years of careful experimentation inspired by the last works of Charles Darwin, they have harnessed the power of Earthworms to create a product that is not only organic and environmentally friendly but significantly is also cheaper than artificial fertilisers, offering struggling farmers an economic lifeline, where they don’t have to choose between doing what’s right for the future at the expense of their family. 

Whilst initially designed for large-scale application to be utilised for agriculture, you can of course also use it is your garden. 

Sam, Gabe and their team are incredible, they are passionate and dedicated to having a positive long lasting impact that will benefit all of us, they have started with creating a truly viable and organic alternative to industrial artificial fertilisers but that’s just the beginning they also have developed an innovative solution to plastic pollution utilising earthworms. 

Whilst we certainly can’t all be innovators we can be supporters and I would ask you to join me in supporting them, please help by sharing this episode with others to reach even more farmers and gardeners. They already have 1000s of acres being successfully farmed using their product but with your help we can get this amazing solution into the hands of even more people and help them have an even bigger impact.
