Summary

Once we've gone down the rabbit hole, digging up all the social, public health, and environmental issues we face today, how do we get ourselves out of there to actually take action and make a difference? Most people already understand and support the idea of 'organic,' which is great... But why is that not enough for sustainability? Why is regenerative agriculture the next big thing to support?

Mari Stuart, ecological designer, teacher, and Founder of Project Grounded, shares her wisdom with us on this episode.
