Summary
What are regenerative, seed-to-sow fashion systems? And what should we know about India's ongoing, historic farmer protests—and how it disproportionately impacts those most influenced by the Green Revolution?
In this episode, we welcome Nishanth Chopra, the visionary behind Oshadi Collective, which is rebuilding regenerative, artisanal fashion and textiles system. They value the Earth, nurture the soil, and respect their community of farmers, spinners, dyers, weavers, makers, and designers first and foremost. They aim to give back more than they take and to produce the finest organic clothing and textiles using ancient cotton farming techniques.
Song featured in this episode: Butterfly and the Honeybee by Jake Gauntlett
