By fixing our food systems could we solve chronic disease/obesity, reduce the cost of healthcare, reverse climate change and ensure everyone in society has equal access to quality nutritious food… Could regenerative agriculture be the answer for a better future?

In this episode, I chat with visionary change-maker and activist for the future food systems - Nick Rose: Executive Director of Australia’s national sustainable food systems organization - ‘Sustain’

You will get to learn from Nick’s extensive knowledge & experience about our food systems, the significance of urban agriculture, food sovereignty and about his latest project - ‘The pandemic gardening survey’- which brings hope for a better tomorrow.

We talk about how COVID has shone a light on our broken system as well as prompted more interest in creating edible gardens.

Despite the serious content matter of this conversation, I’m sure you’ll come away feeling both informed, inspired and hopeful.

Nick doesn’t just highlight the problems but identifies practical solutions and a call to action for us to all to do our bit to contribute to a more sustainable, fair and resilient future.
