About this episode:
In this episode, I sat down with Mark Byford, the Bowler Hat Farmer, to talk food, farming, and freedom. Mark’s spent decades in agriculture and breaks down how policies, chemicals, and corporate lies have wrecked our food system and pushed farmers to the edge.

We covered fatherhood, digital distractions, collapsing soil health, and why buying local is now an act of rebellion. This isn’t just about food, it’s about waking up before we’re left with lab meat and insect paste.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

See my Substack for more information.

Much love, as always.

Doc Malik
