839: Jeremy Chevallier on Food Forest Innovations

Building food in our everyday landscapes.

In This Podcast: The podcast features Jeremy Chevallier, a Phoenix native and serial entrepreneur, who is pioneering urban food forest initiatives with his charity, Homegrown, aiming to combat food shortages by promoting regenerative agriculture and self-sufficient communities. Jeremy discusses his journey from a conventional career to founding Homegrown, influenced by his community experiences and discoveries in soil health and permaculture. His initiatives include permaculture-based landscape services, a soil-focused real estate project, and a local food system in Phoenix that encompasses gleaning and urban farming. The conversation highlights the importance of community engagement in transforming urban landscapes into food-producing areas while addressing the logistical challenges of distributing harvested produce.

Our Guest: Jérémy is a Phoenix native and serial entrepreneur with a newfound passion for healing Earth’s soils and building resilient, self-sufficient communities. To that end, he’s launched Homegrown, a 501(c)(3) charity with a vision for a world in which public & private food forests blanket urban areas everywhere, and food shortages become a topic in history books. He’s building this vision through a handful of industry-disrupting ventures and programs including a neighborhood food rescue, permaculture-based landscaping services, and a soil health-focused real estate business.
