Welcome to 2023! After a short break, I'm so excited to bring you more conversations with incredible people this year, starting with a wonderful friend of mine, Blair Beattie.

Blair is the Founder of Farmer's Footprint Australia, which is a not-for-profit that gives voice to Australia's regenerative food story, and inspires, educates, and supports farmers to integrate regenerative practices.

Farmer’s Footprint Australia shares a vision with its sister organisation, Farmer’s Footprint US, which was co-founded by Dr Zach Bush and works collaboratively to create global programs and initiatives that support the regeneration of human and planetary health.

Blair is a great conversationalist and, as usual, this conversation is wide-ranging covering topics from the impacts of industrial agriculture, the story of glyphosate, and the commodification of our food system, right through to Blair's spiritual experiences with plant medicines, and how these experiences can give us a glimpse into a world bigger than ourselves.

And one of the core essences of this convo was the metaphor that regenerative farming is for our daily lives; just like when tending a landscape we need to shift our focus from extracting a yield to cultivating the soil and creating conditions for growth to occur... how can we create the conditions in our lives for growth to happen, naturally, as the path of least resistance?

Enjoy
