Giles Hutchins emphasizes the importance of trust and overcoming fear in order to create meaningful change in our lives. He shares his personal experiences of leaving corporate life and starting Springwood Farm, highlighting the resistance and doubt he faced from others. Giles believes that true trust in life is the foundation for connecting with ourselves, others, and the natural world. He also discusses the need for a revolution within ourselves, not just in the external world, and the importance of working with both stillness and tension in order to be truly regenerative. Reconnecting with nature and our inner nature is essential to address the interconnected crisis facing humanity. Shifting consciousness and embarking on a journey of becoming allows individuals to reconnect with their own sovereignty and work with life. Personal experiences, such as out-of-body experiences, can shape one's perspective and provide courage in times of challenge. Empathy and understanding are crucial in guiding individuals on their own journeys of self-discovery and transformation. Trust in life and the courage to overcome fear are essential for creating meaningful change. Connecting with ourselves, others, and the natural world is key to living a regenerative life.

Save Our Soils Regenerative Farming Benedikt Bösel
Episode 184 Benedikt Boesel Save Our Soils Regenerative Farming Farm Rebellion Benedikt Bösel, a regenerative farmer, shares his journey of transforming a thousand hectares of sandy, dry German soils into a thriving ecosystem. He discusses the challenges he faced in implementing regenerative practices and the need for a shift in the agricultural system. Benedikt emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with nature and understanding the true value of agriculture. He also highlights the need for societal support and policy changes to create a more sustainable and resilient farming system. Benedikt Bösel shares his journey of starting a regenerative farm and the importance of inviting people to experience and understand the work they do. He emphasizes the need for systemic, ecological, and social innovation in agriculture. Benedikt highlights the role of partnerships and support from organizations like Follow Food and the Schmidt Heine family in the growth of his farm. He discusses the importance of reconnecting people with nature and making sustainable choices in food consumption. Benedikt also challenges the notion that cows are the problem and emphasizes their role in regenerative land use. Regenerative farming practices can transform degraded soils and create resilient ecosystems. The current agricultural system prioritizes mass production and cheap prices, leading to externalized costs and environmental degradation. Society needs to recognize the value of agriculture beyond food production and support the transition to regenerative practices. Collaboration between farmers, scientists, and policymakers is crucial for driving systemic change in the agricultural sector. Systemic, ecological, and social innovation is crucial in agriculture. Partnerships and support from organizations are essential for the growth of regenerative farms. Reconnecting people with nature and making sustainable food choices are important. Cows play a vital role in regenerative land use and should not be seen as the problem. Redefining the Value of Agriculture: Beyond Food Production Transforming Sandy Soils: The Journey of a Regenerative Farmer The Role of Cows in Regenerative Land Use Partnerships and Support for Regenerative Farms "We need to touch people's emotions, we need to touch people's hearts. That is the way forward in order to change the large system surrounding agriculture." "Agriculture and farming have to be at the epicenter of coolness. Farmers are the custodians of our world and future generations." https://finck-stiftung.org/en/ https://www.gutundboesel.org/en https://www.linkedin.com/in/benediktboesel/ https://www.facebook.com/gutundboesel https://www.instagram.com/benediktboesel/ https://www.instagram.com/gutundboesel/ https://www.instagram.com/finckfoundation/ #regenerativeagriculture #livinglab #landwirtschaft #boden #SDGs #davasus #rehkitz #rehwild #thermaldrone #drohne #landwirtschaft #biolandwirtschaft #regenerativeagriculture #raisingkids #ecosystems #onehealth #SDGs #brandenburg #gutundboesel #ackerpulco #marketgarden #biogemüse #jungpflanzen #brandenburg #farmlife #farmvlog#farming #landleben #farm #biolandwirtschaft #regenerative #farming #agriculture #soil #health #biodiversity #sustainability #regenerative agriculture #innovation #partnerships #sustainability #nature connection #food consumption #cowsInside Ideas by One Point 5 Media & Innovators Magazine.

Symbiocene Our Only Future with Dr. Glenn A. Albrecht

Symbiocene Our Only Future with Dr. Glenn A. Albrecht
Glenn A. Albrecht is an Honorary Associate in the School of Geosciences, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He retired as Professor of Sustainability, at Walter Murdoch University, in mid-2014. He continues to work as an environmental philosopher and published a book, Earth Emotions, with Cornell University Press in 2019. Earth Emotions was published in French and Spanish in 2020 and in Dutch in 2024. In numerous publications and public talks over the last two decades, Dr Albrecht has developed the theme of the psychoterratic (psyche-earth), or negative and positive emotional states connected to the state of the Earth. New concepts, developed by him, are now becoming well-established in the international scholarly literature, new research theses, and as inspiration for many creative people in the arts and music. While he is best known for creating the concept of solastalgia, or the lived experience of negative environmental change, his most recent work develops the mega-meme of the 'Symbiocene', a future state where humans re-integrate with the rest of nature. A book of that title should be completed by the end of 2024. He currently lives at Blackheath on Gundungurra land in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia. Glenn Albrecht, an environmental philosopher, discusses the concepts of psychoterratic, solastalgia, and the symbiocene. He emphasizes the importance of developing new language and concepts to describe the emotional and psychological states connected to the state of the Earth. Albrecht believes that the current language used in sustainability and eco-literacy is inadequate and easily misused. He introduces the concept of the symbiocene, a future state where humans reintegrate with the rest of nature, as a paradigm shift from the Anthropocene. He sees symbiosis as the foundation for life and a key to creating a better future. Glenn emphasizes the need to focus on the practical application of symbiosis in order to shift away from extractive and exploitative economic practices. He highlights the importance of transdisciplinary thinking and breaking down disciplinary boundaries to understand the value of life and the need for harmony with all living beings. Glenn discusses the potential for using biotechnology, such as mycelium-based coffins and mycelium bricks, as sustainable alternatives to current technologies. He envisions a future where everything we use can be returned to the cycles of life and where the joy of life and positive Earth emotions are nurtured.

Enabling a Circular Economy with the Digital Product Passport with Thomas Rödding
Episode 182 Thomas Rödding Digital Product Passport Thomas Rödding, CEO of Narravero, discusses the Digital Product Passport and its significance in the context of the European Union's Green Deal and ESG taxonomy. The Digital Product Passport is a digital interface that provides comprehensive information about a product, including its ingredients, manufacturing process, certificates, and end-of-life options. It aims to enable a circular economy by making it easier for consumers to make informed choices and for businesses to provide transparency and traceability. The implementation of the Digital Product Passport has the potential to revolutionize the way products are produced, consumed, and disposed of, leading to more sustainable practices and better environmental outcomes. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a powerful tool that combines sustainability and compliance with customer experience and centricity. It provides a way to make products more transparent, accessible, and trustworthy. The DPP enables consumers to easily access vital information about a product, such as its environmental impact, ethical considerations, and authenticity. It also empowers consumers to make informed decisions and encourages businesses to adopt more sustainable practices. The DPP has the potential to revolutionize various industries, including agriculture, by promoting regenerative practices and reducing waste. Starting early with the implementation of the DPP is crucial to stay ahead of the game and reap the benefits of improved customer experience and compliance. The DPP also opens up opportunities for marketing, services, and innovation, creating a more sustainable and future-fit world. The Digital Product Passport is a digital interface that provides comprehensive information about a product, enabling consumers to make informed choices and businesses to provide transparency and traceability. The implementation of the Digital Product Passport has the potential to revolutionize the way products are produced, consumed, and disposed of, leading to more sustainable practices and better environmental outcomes. May 27, 2024, Exciting news from the EU! The Council of the European Union has given its final approval to the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (#ESPR), marking a major milestone in our journey towards sustainability. This groundbreaking regulation mandates that all products placed on the European market will require a #Digital #Product #Passport. This passport will provide comprehensive information on the environmental sustainability of products, enhancing transparency and enabling informed consumer choices. This initiative will significantly reduce the environmental impact of products, improve circularity, and drive innovation across various industries. It’s a transformative step that aligns with our commitment to a greener and more sustainable future. And the Digital Product Passport will bring about positive realities for Europe! It won't be straightforward – a lot of work awaits us. However, many smart minds are working on the DPP concept in an interdisciplinary manner, connecting with each other, thinking from the perspective of businesses and end customers – for a circular economy that can and will work. #DigitalProductPassport #EuropeanUnion #GreenDeal #ESGtaxonomy #circulareconomy #transparency #traceability #stainability #futurefit #DPP #espr #circulareconomy #customerexperience #marketingfuture #sustainability #digitalproductpassport #nexteraofmedia #eutaxonomy #Sustainability #Ecodesign #GreenTransition #Innovation https://youtu.be/1-fohBUciMo https://www.narravero.com/en  https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-roedding/  https://www.linkedin.com/company/narravero  https://www.youtube.com/@narravero   https://medium.com/@thomas-roedding https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2024/05/27/green-transition-council-gives-its-final-approval-to-the-ecodesign-regulation/  https://youtu.be/1-fohBUciMo

What a Bee Knows, with Stephen Buchmann
Stephen Buchmann is a pollination ecologist specializing in bees and an adjunct professor with the departments of Entomology and of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. A Fellow of the Linnean Society of London, he has published over 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers and eleven books, including The Forgotten Pollinators with Gary Nabhan (Island Press, 1996) and, most recently, The Reason for Flowers: Their History, Culture, Biology, and How They Change Our Lives (Scribner, 2015). Buchmann is a frequent guest on many public media venues including NPR’s All Things Considered, and Science Friday. Reviews of his books have appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time and Discover magazines and other national publications. He is an engaging public speaker on topics of flowers, pollinators, and the natural world. His many awards include the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award, and an NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book. For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee has navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactory organs, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructions relayed by a hive-mate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees’ mysterious paths and experience their alien world. Although their brains are incredibly small—just one million neurons compared to humans’ 100 billion—bees have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen Buchmann explores a bee’s way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questions most of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmann’s insatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious. What a Bee Knows will challenge your idea of a bee’s place in the world—and perhaps our own. This lively journey into a bee’s mind reminds us that the world is more complex than our senses can tell us. www.stephenbuchmann.com

Rethinking Law, with Dr Abir Haddad
Dr. Abir Haddad is my guest on Episode 166 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.   Dr. Abir Haddad is Director of the Institute for Legal Transformation, Capital 40 under 40, alumni of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science, and teaches Modern Law of Arab States at the Institute for Private International Law at the University of Cologne, where she received her doctorate summa cum laude.  Previously to that she developed transformative legal adaptations to address future challenges posed by climate change and exponential technologies at Resilience Frontiers Initiative, a forward-thinking project of the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat, where she still is an advisor.   As director of the Institute for Legal Transformation, she is now applying her "7 Steps to Legal Transformation" methodology to other areas of futures and disruptive change, exploring the law of the future with a thematic focus on anticipatory legal adaptations that promote sustainable living in balance with nature, and foresightful regulation of exponential technologies for a prosperous society. Together with other lawyers, Dr. Haddad founded the Network of Multicultural Lawyers, which provides a platform for German lawyers with a family history of immigration.   In her academic career, Dr. Haddad has been selected as one of 20 scholars worldwide for the Falling Walls Foundation's Female Science Track 2022 and won the wildcard for the Women in Leadership program. Also, she is a founding and faculty member of the European Club for Leaders and Sustainable Innovation program.   http://www.legaltransformation.io/
