Metabolic Matters The Future of Food Is Decentralized | Neil Smith on Soil, Blockchain & Health
What if the prescription for better health started in the soil—not the pharmacy?
In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Neil Smith, regenerative agriculture advisor, farmer, and co-founder of the Grow blockchain project (kohima.io). With decades of hands-on experience and a mission rooted in abundance, Neil is helping farmers—and communities—redefine what it means to heal, from the land up.
From soil remediation to landscape restoration, and from decentralized systems to local food sovereignty, Neil shares how Web3 technologies are creating new opportunities for farmers to reclaim their data, their profits, and their purpose. It’s a conversation about systems thinking, global health, and why healthy soil is the most overlooked cornerstone of public wellness.
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
Why Neil believes regenerative agriculture is a “system of systems” that holds the key to true health and resilience.
How blockchain and decentralization are empowering farmers to own their data and transform the food supply chain.
The emotional and financial obstacles traditional farmers face—and how Neil guides them through change with compassion and strategy.
Why the food you eat is only as good as the soil it came from.
- How intentionality, ancestry, and ancient wisdom still have a place in modern ecological design.
🌾 Key Topics Discussed:
The broken narratives around “organic” and “regenerative” labeling.
The link between glyphosate, public health decline, and deceptive supply chains.
Transitioning from conventional to regenerative farming without losing your livelihood.
Localizing food economies through decentralization.
- Neil’s call to consumers: Know your farmer. Ask more questions. Demand transparency.
