Summary
Fred Provenza is the author of over 250 publications and several books, his latest one being 'Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us About Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom.' He's also a professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University and one of the founders of BEHAVE (Behavioral Education for Human Animal Vegetation and Ecosystem Management), an international network of scientists and land managers committed to integrating behavioral principles with local knowledge to enhance environmental, economic, and cultural values of rural and urban communities.
In this podcast episode, Fred sheds light on how we've largely become disconnected from the wisdom of our palates and bodies; what we can learn from behavioral ecology to better understand what it means to reconnect with our 'nourish’ sense and eat for our health and the health of our ecosystems; and more.
