Summary

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Aurora Solá, author of Manifesto on the Future of Food, and Camilla Fayed, founder of Farmacy, a plant-forward restaurant and regenerative food project built around organic, biodynamic sourcing and the belief that “food is medicine.” Together, they explore how our food system became disconnected from soil, ecology, and human health, and what it will take to restore it. Aurora and Camilla walk through the origins and principles of regenerative agriculture, explaining how practices rooted in biodiversity, soil restoration, and ecological balance can rebuild resilience in both ecosystems and communities. Rather than framing the issue through blame or fear, they focus on practical pathways forward, from supporting local farmers to rethinking how we relate to food altogether. This conversation is an invitation to see food not just as fuel, but as a relationship, one that shapes our health, our environment, and our collective future.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Today I'm joined by Camilla Fayette and Aurora Sola,
0:08.2	co-authors of a manifesto for the Future of Food. These are two extraordinary women who are working
0:14.2	to transform our food system by reconnecting agriculture with soil health, ecology, and human well-being. In this conversation,
0:22.7	we explore how industrial agriculture has severed our relationship to the land and how practices
0:29.5	rooted in biodiversity, regenerative principles, and biodynamics can restore vitality to our soil
0:36.0	and to ourselves.
0:38.4	Camilla and Aurora offer a clear, grounded explanation of what regenerative agriculture actually is,

0:57.4	They unpack the hidden costs of the modern food system,

1:13.3	local farmers rather than corporations, we can rebuild healthier bodies, communities, and
1:19.0	ecosystems. So let's dive in. Here's my conversation with Camilla Fayette and Aurora Sola.
