82. Decentralising Food Production with Nguni Cattle & Regenerative Agriculture

Justin Crawford runs runs Balgowan Beef Co in the KZN Midlands of South Africa. He runs indigenous African Sanga cattle breed Nguni, in an intensive rotational grazing setup and sells this fully grassfed beef direct-to-consumer. We discuss the future of decentralized food production, why Nguni genetics are so suited to chemical-free & regenerative practices, quality of Nguni beef, key lessons operating a direct-to-consumer operation and much more.
