Regenerative Agriculture Podcast

In this episode of the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, John interviews Dr. Arden Andersen, who holds a Ph.D. in Agriculture and Biophysics. In this conversation on biophysics, John and Dr. Andersen explore topics such as the role of calcium, soil compaction, pest pressure, and more from the perspective of biophysics and energy. Dr. Andersen’s career in agriculture started in childhood on his family’s holistically managed dairy farm. This experience provided him with the daring to question accepted science and to forge new paths. While earning a bachelor’s degree in agriculture, Dr. Andersen noted that his father’s herd suffered from none of the dairy diseases he was studying, allowing him to draw a correlation between disease immunity and herd health. Through further study, he determined that immunity is influenced by nutrition and that this principle is the same for plants and mammals, including humans. Dr. Andersen dove into the world of biophysics, learning from pioneers such as Dr. Philip Callahan, Dr.
