You're older than me and have been working on these things your entire life. I am already tired and overwhelmed at times with the challenge ahead of us. How do you manage with this much energy given the scale of the task? How do you not lose hope and and vitality? You know, energy in the universe is not the goal and the all-in underground. It's now 8.30 p.m. your time. You've had a full day and you're still full of energy and poetry and wisdom on this podcast. We haven't even had dinner yet.
Today, ecology activist and regenerative agriculture advocate Vandana Shiva joins me to discuss how her lifetime of work has shaped the way she sees the world. From chaining herself to trees to winning against powerful agriculture giants like Monsanto, Vandana shares the many lessons she’s learned in fighting for food systems that are better for the Earth and better for humans. Can we shift away from fossil input intensive agriculture that produces commodities lacking in full nutrients towards one with more labor, more community and more nutritious food?
