Regenerating Earth with Kelsey Timmerman

Growing up in rural Indiana, author Kelsey Timmerman saw the toll of industrial agriculture firsthand. Think polluted ponds, air thick with manure — a system that's disconnected us from our food, our land, and each other. But Kelsey, a farmer's grandson, believes it doesn't have to be this way. In this podcast, we're diving into Kelsey's global journey, inspired by his book, Regenerating Earth. He's traveled the world — from Hawaiian kalo patches and the Amazon rainforest to the fields of Kenya with Maasai warriors and innovative American farms — to find people who are turning agriculture into a powerful solution. Join us as we explore how regenerative farming practices are rebuilding soil, boosting biodiversity, creating meaningful livelihoods, and even sequestering enough carbon to combat climate change. Kelsey weaves together local stories with global insights, showing us how our food choices, our lifestyles, and our connection to nature are deeply tied to environmental and social justice. Discover how embracing a regenerative future can add meaning and purpose to your life, connecting you to everything from microscopic fungi to majestic lions. It all starts with understanding our role in creating a healthier planet.
