Description
Thomas Ermacora was the co-curator of Harvest's sixth edition. As an architect and a futurist, he focuses on regenerative projects, like Clear Village, a non-profit that he co-founded in 2008, aiming to restore well-being for fragile communities and that received many awards. Thomas' goal is to empower the citizens, and he is explaining concretely how to empower the communities and allow them to reconnect with nature.This episode is sponsored by London Nootropics Coffee.
