Sense-Making in a Changing World

In this first episode, I am joined by Acadia Tucker - new generation regenerative farmer, plant lover, author and climate activist from New Hampshire, USA . She sees small scale regenerative farming and local food growing as an act of positive change - for the health and wellbeing of families, communities, the land and earth's systems. Acadia encourages us to join the movement of Citizen Gardening and the growing of perennials, as a 20th century version of the victory gardens during WWII where 20 million Americans took to their gardens to grow 80% of the country's food needs. What is happening in the world right now requires big picture thinking and local action. A citizen gardener is a [pr]activist. Join the movement - transform your garden, community garden, allotment, verge garden, or school garden into an abundant perennial food oasis that draws down carbon, mitigates climate change, rewilds the landscape, brings community together and restores local ecological systems.Acadia's books:Growing Good Food: A citizens guide to backyard carbon farming 2019Growing Perennial Foods: A field guide to raising resident fruits, herbs and vegetables 2019Tiny Victory Gardens: growing good food without a yard, Fall 2020TranscriptCheck the transcript tab.Subscribe & ShareThanks for tuning into my new podcast today, SENSE-MAKING IN A CHANGING WORLD.  It has been a pleasure to have your company.

Welcome to the SENSE MAKING IN A CHANGING WORLD podcast where we explore the kind of thinking we need to navigate a positive way forward.I’m your host Morag Gamble - permaculture educator & global ambassador, filmmaker, ecovillager, Warm Data host, food forester, mother, [pr]activist & all round lover of thinking, communicating & acting regeneratively.For a long time it has been clear to me that to shift trajectory to a thriving one-planet way of life, we first need to shift our thinking. The way we perceive ourselves in relation to nature, self & community.How do we make sense of this, to know which way to turn, to know what action to focus on so our efforts are worthwhile, nourishing & towards resilience, regeneration & reconnection?What better way to make sense than to join together with others in open generative conversation. In this podcast I will share conversations with my friends and colleagues - people who inspire & challenge me with their ways of thinking, connecting & acting. These wonderful people are thinkers, doers, activists, scholars, writers, leaders, farmers, educators - people whose work informs permaculture & spark the imagination of what a post COVID, climate resilient, socially just future looks like. Their ideas & projects help us make sense in this changing world - to compost & digest, & nurture fertile ground for new ideas, connections & actions.I cant wait to share these conversations with you.Fritjof CapraRosemary MorrowEmma-Kate Rose Satish Kumar Rhonda Hetzel Jason TwillAmanda CahillDaniel Christian Wahl Sierra Robinson ...I am delighted to be launching this on World Environment Day 2020 - the 20th global celebration.
