    Description

    Welcome to this new additional format for the podcast!We'll still be having fresh interviews alongside but today's episode is a bit different; a personal dialogue that I've written and recorded to (hopefully) help birth an appreciation of soil through the lens of whole systems thinking.I'm joined throughout with guests from our other episodes -You'll hear from Tony Rinaudo and his struggles trying to reestablish life in the degraded soils of Africa, along with his development of F.M.N.R that completely turned things around. The full episode with Tony can be found here: https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/regenerating-hope-fmnr-tony-rinaudo/Jason Freeman of Farmer Direct Organic joins us to help us understand the impacts the chemical agriculture has on our soils and food. The full interview with Jason will be published later this Spring so subscribe for notifications!Sheila Cooke of 3LM (The Savory Network Hub for UK and Ireland) shares her wisdom of holistic management to take our knowledge deeper when understanding the complexity and functions within a healthy ecosystem. The full interview with Sheila can be found here: https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/holistic-management-transition-mindset-farming/It has been great fun to produce this episode - I'd love to know what you think!Here's a breakdown for reference:00:00 - Awe for the Soil Microbiome & it's connection with all life02:20 - Introducing the format04:05 - Zooming out to see what's missing in the ecosystem07:20 - How are we surrounded by so much bare ground?!11:27 - Soil is a factory (ecosystem analogy)18:18 - Tony Rinaudo - Degraded land in Africa25:05 - Tony Rinaudo - Regenerating with F.M.N.R29:06 - Impacts of agriculture in temperate climates32:44 - Jason Freeman - Chemical farming and the detriment on soil and food35:50 - Nature's complexity and abundance38:18 - Sheila Cooke - Holistic thinking and ever evolving ecosystems

    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.
