0:00.0	Hi, friends, this is John. Welcome back to the regenerative agriculture podcast. Today, I'm here with a person whose work I have greatly admired, and it is something that's very important to all of us.
0:13.4	Because in the words of Masanovo Fukuoka, he wrote that the ultimate purpose of agriculture is not just the production
0:23.4	of food and fiber, but the cultivation of human beings, the cultivation of souls and peoples
0:28.6	and the health of their bodies and all the things that that embodies.
0:32.7	And my guess for today is Hilda Labrador de Gore, who Hilda, I have so greatly admired the energy, your energy,
0:42.8	the vivaciousness, the enthusiasm that you bring just in your life in general and that you bring

1:54.0	And so I'd like to just have a conversation with you about what are the significant movers? What are the,
2:05.1	what are the obvious things that all of us can do that can really move the needle significantly
2:10.0	for all of us in the countryside? But why don't you begin by telling us a bit about your context,
2:16.3	your story, the scope of the work that you're involved with.
2:20.1	Absolutely.
2:21.0	So, John, thank you so much for having me on.
2:22.9	I was thinking, what's a city girl like me doing on a podcast like this?
