Farmer Rishi, a former software engineer, is a gardening evangelist and small-scale farmer who uses gardening for personal, social, and ecological healing. He is the Executive Director of Sarvodaya Institute, co-founder of Healing Gardens Community, and lead gardening educator for Kiss the Ground.

In this podcast episode, Farmer Rishi sheds light on what regenerative gardening is all about; why we need to distinguish the differences between degenerative vocabulary and regenerative vocabulary; why the concept and terminology of waste in of itself may set us up for failure when trying to live in more regenerative ways; and more.
