    In this episode of The Grow Renaissance, Grow community members Cindy, Will, Neil, Austin, and Jake reflect on the strides made in 2025 — from reaching global decentralization with nearly 26,000 nodes, expanding real-world blockchain utility, and forging partnerships that let people use Grow to buy food — and lay out an ambitious vision for 2026, including putting entire farm supply chains on the Grow blockchain, deepening regenerative practices, empowering producers and consumers with data transparency and digital rewards, and inviting listeners to take action and join the movement to transform how the world grows and connects with its food.

  • Ep. 57 No Farms, No Food, No You with Anika Wulff
    Jan 21 2026
    In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Smith sits down with first-generation Australian vegetable and produce farmer Anika Wulff, who left city life and certainty behind to build a diversified organic farm from scratch in the Lockyer Valley — confronting floods, hailstorms, market pressures, and steep learning curves along the way. Annika opens up about what it really takes to grow food today, from soil building and greenhouse trials to engaging local customers and navigating the ups and downs of organic certification and competition. Together, they explore resilience, community, the true cost behind the “support your local farmer” slogan, and how transparency — even with emerging technologies like blockchain — can help rebuild trust between growers and eaters. Tune in for a raw, hopeful, and deeply human conversation about the people who feed us and what it means to keep farming in a changing world.
