Description

In this interview I'm joined by Taimur Malik to hear about the journey that brought him to founding Drawdown Farm in Pakistan, and the work they're doing there to produce foods regeneratively despite the challenges of desert soils and an arid climate.Taimur's background is not in farming. His move to develop regenerative agriculture in Pakistan is his response to having his eyes opened to the mix of crises surrounding him in the world; from climate to biodiversity loss, and even the roots of civil war.After much dedicated research the conclusion that he reached was that our most impactful solution is regenerative agriculture.I feel hugely inspired by the work that has been done here - not only in the successful regeneration of soils and cultivation of crops (including bananas which were thought impossible to grow in the Thal Desert); all of which you'll hear about towards the latter half of the discussion.But also by the range of research and influences that have guided Taimur in his learning, it's an incredibly varied set of wisdom that's been brought together and somehow provided clarity and focus rather than conflicting ideas.What a wonderful place we're in as a world to have so much information available to us, and I hope you'll feel as uplifted and motivated as I do by this story that demonstrates quite clearly that we have the knowledge we need to regenerate!And with the right approach, using many tools side by side Taimur concludes that a transition to regenerative agriculture can actually be really quick!He's very articulate at walking you through his journey so you'll hear very little from me with the questioning through this one. I hope you'll enjoy having a listen through.Episode Links: Learn more at Taimur's website: https://www.drawdownfarm.com/Find this episode on the We Are Carbon website: https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/regenerative-agriculture-pakistan/

We Are Carbon is the interview show that helps us to recognise that the future of both our planet and our societies can be incredibly beautiful - and that we all play a role in getting there! There's a new episode every Thursday, and they'll average 1 hr long. We see endless headlines warning us of the horrific impact that we're having on the climate and how dire the outlook is, but we're going to re-frame this crisis and start putting the solutions into our own hands. I'm inviting in voices from science, agriculture, business and more, to help us gain an understanding of how we might live in greater harmony with the world around us. How we can build a society where our everyday choices have a positive impact on regenerating and stabilising the planet that we depend upon. Because when the planet and nature are thriving; that's when we can thrive! That's when we can live in a world less focused on fear and restrictions. I don't think that real solutions are ever found until we zoom out, see the full picture and recognise how it all connects together. We can't view climate change as an isolated issue. Our health, our food security, stability of economies and the way we interact with one another, they're are all tied in. The topics can seem expansive, so we're using carbon as a focus. We're exploring some important, and at times complex subjects here. But the whole point is to make this info accessible and transparent to us all. So let me know if there's ever anything that you'd like breaking down or exploring further. Or if there's related topics that you feel should be discussed. Reach out and let's keep this project expanding! And if you're a visual learner, look out for the animations! I'm creating short digestible videos to illustrate some of the key concepts that we're exploring.
