Welcome to the Hot Potato Podcast: a series that grabs the burning issue of climate change with both hands and asks how regenerative agriculture can help solve the problem.
We all know farming systems need to change to help feed the 8 billion people (and growing!) people on this planet. But how? Here on the Hot Potato Podcast, we’re starting with- who’d have thought it- the humble spud!
As the third most consumed crop globally, potatoes play a vital role in how land is farmed and how people are fed.
So keep your ears peeled as, together, we chip away at the hottest challenge facing food producers today

In a changing climate, farms are already experiencing shifts in harvest seasons, crop yields, weather events, and more. Ensuring crops and farms are climate resilient is more important than ever. Can technology help us catch up with climate change to ‘future-proof’ our farms?
Joining the discussion is Emily Ford and Martin Harris.
Emily is a Nuffield Canada Scholar and Senior Agronomist at Quattro Ventures. In her daily work she works on crop production through real-time field monitoring and providing solutions for top crop performance.
Martin is a passionate soil classification specialist and agronomist. He focuses on practices that mitigate crop production risk. With 16 years of experience in precision agriculture, Martin focuses on merging science and field practices for the benefit of the producer.
