We talk a lot about fair prices. But what if we told you the price tag on your food is lying to you?In this episode of What The Field?!, we dive into true cost accounting — what it is, why it matters, and how it can change the way we think about food. Our guest Pietro Galliani from True Price and the Impact Institute breaks down the invisible costs behind what we eat: environmental damage, underpaid farmers, and social inequalities that never make it onto the label.We also explore how businesses and consumers can start closing the “true price gap” — without waiting for someone else to fix the system. Because change doesn’t start in boardrooms. It starts at the checkout.🎧 Listen now and find out:Why “cheap” food isn’t cheap at allHow true pricing can fund real solutionsWhat regenerative farmers and consumers can do to shift the system👇 Ready to stop being fooled by fake price tags?Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crowd_farming/ Blog: https://www.crowdfarming.com/blog/en/

Big brands and big promises: a chat with Earthworm CEO Bastien Sachet
In this episode of What The Field?!, we sit down with Bastien Sachet, CEO of Earthworm, to dig into whether big businesses are actually walking the talk on regenerative agriculture—or just riding the sustainability wave. Earthworm is an impact-driven global non-profit working on the ground to create scalable solutions for nature and people to thrive. It started with Nestlé’s no-deforestation pledge, proving that when corporations commit, real change can happen.A key takeaway: It’s Not the Company, It’s the PeopleBastien reminds us that businesses don’t change—people inside them do. Often, corporate sustainability efforts start with one determined person pushing for better practices.While companies love to talk about soil health, only a few back it up with real action. Farmers need financial support, long-term security, and better tools to measure progress—things most corporate commitments still lack. Many companies only adopt sustainability policies after public pressure, legal risks, or supply chain disruptions (e.g., Nestlé’s palm oil scandal with Greenpeace).Why Soil Health is the Next Big ThingBeyond carbon footprints, regenerative agriculture could revolutionise food quality. Healthier soils may lead to more nutrient-rich crops—giving businesses a powerful new reason to invest in soil regeneration.Ready to find out if the world’s biggest brands are really getting their hands dirty?

A chat with the brains and hearts behind our documentary film
This month on What The Field?!, we had the absolute joy of chatting with the brains and hearts behind our documentary, Rage is Good, Action is Better. We dove deep into why storytelling is such a big deal when it comes to showcasing inspiring stories (like those of regenerative farmers) and making big, political topics feel personal and real.We also talked about what it’s actually like to make a documentary. Spoiler alert: it’s a lot of hard work, a ton of heart, and plenty of unexpected moments (some hilarious, some challenging).If you haven’t seen Rage is Good, Action is Better yet, it’s all about shining a light on the farmers who are flipping the script on traditional agriculture and doing things differently — regeneratively. So, if you’re into behind-the-scenes tea, love a good story, or just want to hear about how we’re using film to get people thinking differently about food and farming, this episode is for you.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crowd_farming/ Blog: https://www.crowdfarming.com/blog/en/
