The ground beneath us is changing. So are the people who work it. Rich Planet presents Breaking Ground, in association with Groundshift. There is huge pressure on individual farmers, on the sector as a whole, and on the land. Breaking Ground explores the opportunities of regenerative agriculture, a way of farming that works with nature to cut input costs and emissions, draw carbon back into the ground, build resilience, lighten the workload, and, crucially, increase profits. So the question is, can you get rich saving the planet? Find out 5th October 2026.

Is New Zealand farming really as environmentally friendly as we think?
What is Regenerative Agriculture? Rich Planet presents Breaking Ground, in association with Groundshift. In this Prologue episode, host Anton Babkov sits down with farm advisors Conan Moynihan, Chanelle O'Sullivan, and Sam Lang to unpack what regenerative agriculture actually means, and why it matters for New Zealand's farmers, land, and economy. We get into the numbers behind NZ farming, the principles behind regenerative farming, and why soil health runs in a direct line to animal health, human nutrition, and even mental wellbeing. The conversation digs into the economics farmers face - rising costs, being price-takers on both ends, and why profitability should be the focus, not yield. We also tackle why "regenerative" is such a contested word among the farming community, and what's really at stake for New Zealand's reputation and market access if the sector gets this wrong. It's the conversation that sets up everything Breaking Ground explores from here. Also available on YouTube.
