8-11PM Round Table Discussion

The focus of this event goes far beyond Nature Farming as a series of recipes, instead bringing in natural philosophy and going back to the traditional roots of farming. As the world gets increasingly connected by technology, it is also causing cultural amnesia as homogenous forces of consumerism cause the domesticated and industrialized to forget how to live harmoniously in their own ecosystems. Fermentation as an art form, has largely been forgotten due to the convenience of electricity, and so human microbiomes have suffered. Microbial based agriculture can help heal the soil, fostering greater ability for human health, empowering us all through food sovereignty. Nature Farming as a spiritual worldview allows us to remember we are part of the natural world and can foster diversity in our bioregions.

Join Gil Carandang, Subhash Palekar, Yoshikazu Kawaguchi, Rei Yoon, Steve Diver, Joanna Campe, Paul Olivier, Lance Hancherow, John Mwangi Ndungu, and Peter Jackson for discussions related to Nature Farming, Agroecology, Remineralization, Closed Loop Waste Transformation, Fermentation, Biochar, Microbially Augmented Agriculture, and Food Sovereignty.
