What Is An Atom, And Why Does It Matter: The Science Beneath It All
Description
What Is An Atom, And Why Does It Matter: The Science Beneath It All (Ep. 3)
Episode 3:
Everything from the soil underfoot to the food on your plate starts with atoms. But how do these invisible building blocks actually shape the health of our land, animals, and ourselves?
In this episode, we explore how the tiniest particles in the universe form the foundation of farming, life, and balance. From the role of subatomic energy and magnetism to the biology of soil microbes and cyanobacteria, this conversation connects the dots between physics, nature, and everyday food production.
We unpack:
What atoms and subatomic particles really are
How minerals in the soil create harmony or chaos in plants and animals
Why “more” isn’t always better when it comes to fertiliser
The surprising connection between soil biology, DNA, and farm health
How understanding atoms can make farming simpler, more natural, and more profitable
It’s part science, part philosophy, and a reminder that every great farm and every healthy ecosystem begins with the smallest things done right.
