Philosopher and writer Dougald Hine, social scientist and farmer Chris Smaje, and ecologist and farmer Pella Thiel join Nate to discuss the future of food and community. They explore the importance of local food production, the relationship between community and food in a lower consumption future, and the challenges and possibilities of creating change in a flawed system. They also discuss the importance of regrowing a living culture and share resources for listeners to learn more about these issues.

Chris Smaje, farmer and academic, debates the future of food with George Monbiot, arguing for community autonomy through farming. They discuss challenging the idea of lab-grown food, the importance of maintaining connections to the land, and the political implications of food production. The conversation delves into cultural preservation, rethinking political ideologies, and the potential of small farms for sustainable food systems.

Leah Rampy, from Earth & Soul, joins an eclectic group including Bill Drummond, David Graeber, and Chris Smaje to examine the intersection of populism and climate action. They discuss the stark contrasts between Green elites and grassroots movements. The conversation touches on nostalgic winter experiences, the absurdities of monarchy in the climate discourse, and the shift from 'cool' to 'good' in cultural production. Personal anecdotes enrich their reflections on legacy and the importance of humility in education through animal husbandry.
