Hi All,

Yesterday I had an awesome conversation with Liz Carlisle, the author of the new book, Healing Grounds: Climate, Justice, and the Deep Roots of Regenerative Farming. Her book is fascinating, because it takes a deep look at the ancestral and spiritual connection that indigenous communities and black farmers have with the land, and brings a whole new understanding of what regenerative agriculture is. It takes away any green-washing of the term, and helps the reader understand how regenerative agriculture has its’ roots in indigenous cultures, with a reciprocal, holistic relationship between the natural world; plants, animals and people.

Liz Carlisle is an Assistant Professor in the Environmental Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara, where she teaches courses on food and farming, and its connection to climate justice, racial justice and food justice. Her book takes a look at four women of color, who are working within their communities to connect to their ancestral knowledge to grow food, while sequestering carbon in the soil to help mitigate the negative impact that industrial agriculture has on Climate Change.

It was a great conversation! If you missed our interview, I highly recommend you have a listen below!
