373. Leah Penniman on the Earth as Text, Teacher, and Kin

On "Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg" Dani speaks with Leah Penniman, a farmer, author, and food systems advocate who just released her new book Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations with Black Environmentalists. They discuss the power of listening to and learning from the earth, the urgency of the environmental justice movement, and the process of leaning into collaboration and co-creation.
