Andy Cato

You've been extraordinarily successful and yet you are so humble.

Andy Cato, welcome to the Best Life Podcast.

30 years after starting Groove Armada with my mate Tom, we're still in the middle of it.

I was staring down the barrel of my own hubris surrounded by weeds.

Before we get into the episode, if you could do me a massive favour, can you follow or subscribe? This allows me to get the very best guests available.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Andy Cato, welcome to the Best Life Podcast.

I am absolutely honoured to have you on here.

It's really interesting because actually this area has been used by musicians quite a while.

And in fact, so Wild Farmed is one of our clients and Wild Farmed is run by Andy Cato.

X of Groove Armada.

And some of the data that we sent him, he decided to incorporate into some of his music.

Why don't you tell us about our first guest?

Well, we have Andy Cato, who is the co-founder of Wild Farmed.

And he's an award-winning farmer and Grammy-nominated musician, which is an interesting combination.

And maybe that's going to bring some of the creative thinking.

And so it's not a short-term fix, it's a long-term fix.

Andy Cato talks about the water retention in soil through organic matter, et cetera, which is where we're going, isn't it, with SFI and with the re-genny style of farming that we're being sort of pushed in towards.

But that's a long-term game.

Um, some of that water storage and water resilience will allow us then perhaps to trade water between ourselves, trade water with nature, and then also improve what we can grow on farms.
