Season 2, Episode 15:

My guest today is Deborah Barker, who brings 25 years’ experience of working in the rural economy, and creative arts in the public, private and voluntary sectors.

In this conversation, we discuss holistic ways of thinking about our ecosystem, the importance of soil, farming, and sheep and how the carbon cycles are intricately linked to the water and nutrient cycles. 

We dive into:

• The link between our extractive mind sets and climate change.
• The importance of soil, farming, and sheep! 
• How we can begin to rethink our relationship to clothes.
• Agro-ecology
• Examples of healthy functioning natural cycles
• Developing an understanding of reciprocity
• How we need to respect planetary boundaries and how local networking can contribute to carbon solutions.
