Looking to our Indigenous Past for a Regenerative Future, with Nathalie Kelley

New Food Order - A podcast by AgFunder & Food+Tech Connect

Categories:

From food and agriculture to fashion and economics, 'regenerative’ has become a buzzword over the last few years. But regeneration is not a new concept at all. It is a paradigm and set of agricultural practices that indigenous peoples have practiced for millenia.  This week, Danielle and Louisa speak about looking to our indigenous past for a regenerative future with Nathalie Kelley, an actress of Quechua descent, most recently starring in the #1 Netflix series The Baker and the Beauty and the Fast & the Furious movie series. With a background in social science and policy, Nathalie strives to tell stories that educate and inspire. She is on the boards of both Kiss The Ground and the Fungí Foundation, using her platform to elevate Indigenous wisdom and technologies as a means of coming back into justice and harmony with our ecosystems. She is in deep devotion and service to the entire web of life, advocating in particular for the health of our soil, water, the fungí and forests. Her mission is the preservation of biodiversity, including cultural and myco-diversity on the planet.  In this powerful, inspiring, and, at times, heartbreaking conversation, we discuss: The human and environmental costs of our climate crisis and industrial agriculture The connection between personal health and planetary healthWhy and what we can learn from indigenous peoples to build a regenerative future and feed the worldIndigenous and low tech solutions to combating climate change issuesNathalie’s regenerative learning journey Tips for starting your own regenerative learning journeyPractical changes we can make in our everyday lives Warning: Some of what is shared in this episode may be upsetting or could be triggering, especially for Indigenous listeners.
