Andy Kato of Gruv Armada says that farming needs ‘cool’

A half part of Andy Kato, DJ and electronic music group Groove Armda has told the BBC that he is trying his best to “calm” farming as he promotes regenerative practices as a tenant of a National Trust Farm.

In the farm on the Wiltshire-Oxfordshire border, he said: “We need to live in a world where farming and food is calm and aspirational.”

The style of farming of Cato still involves growing food and trying to reverse the loss of biodiversity while making it financially viable.

He said that it did not come without problems, before the “humble” experience of cultivation of more than a decade of farming in France before the current farm.

“There are many days when I think I am just going to play records on the beach in Ibisa, someone else can solve it.

He said, “What continues me is that we have a solution to many of the existing problems that we face from health to climate to biodiversity. Once you have seen its ability, you cannot really walk away from it,” he explained.

The purpose of regenerative farming is to resume germs, nutrients and carbon back into the soil.

A way to do this involves planting separate crops simultaneously and sewing “cover” crops, which protect the soil between the crop to maintain organic content.

Star’s journey in farming began when he was returning from a gig and a letter was handed over to the modern food system.

After going under a “rabbit hole”, Kato took a big risk – to sell his music rights and buy a farm in France.

“Everything went completely wrong – a very humble experience. [It was] A decade and a half decade, often a very painful journey of experimentation.

He said, “It left an indelible mark, not only how difficult the farming is, but how lonely it is,” he said, “to set his course”. There are big decisions to make big decisions with just one opportunity in a year.

Kato has now formed a group of regenerative farmers called wildformed.

He explained that there is often an idea that “if you want more nature, you need less food”, but it does not see that it should be the case.

“We live in a world where it is a £ 7 pint and a £ 1 pav bread – why are we considering those things so different?”

Despite the challenges, Kato said: “There is no more complete, exciting or intellectually challenging way to spend your time than a combination of nature and food production.”

After this, he has spent most of the time of his life “standing in the largest stages of the world and spending a great time”.
