Regenerate the Next Acre with Anthony Myint
Anthony Myint, a celebrated chef and restaurateur, is best known for his work as the co-founder and Executive Director of the nonprofit organization Zero Foodprint (ZFP). His innovative approach to climate activism through the food industry earned him two prestigious James Beard Awards. Zero Foodprint is a nonprofit that mobilizes the food and beverage industry to address climate change. It operates on a "Table to Farm" model, where participating restaurants add a small, opt-out surcharge to customer bills. ZFP then aggregates these funds and distributes them as grants to local farmers and ranchers. These grants help farmers implement regenerative agricultural practices, such as compost application, cover cropping, and reduced tillage. The goal is to improve soil health, which naturally sequesters carbon from the atmosphere, creating a powerful, scalable climate solution.
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.
