Shubhendu Sharma is an industrial engineer turned reforestation expert. He's the founder of Afforestt, which is a social enterprise based in New Delhi and Bangalore, India that is committed to bringing back maintenance-free, native forests using the renowned Miyawaki method of reforestation.
In this podcast episode, Shubhendu sheds light on the intricacies that go into regenerative reforestation efforts, which go beyond just planting trees and consider various contexts, such as the history and culture of a region; how scarcity is a human construct because when our ecosystems are functioning as they should, they inherently hold regenerative capacities to recreate abundance; and more.
