Riker Vermilye is the founder of MadAgave, a non-profit social enterprise that aims to create food security, biodiversity conservation, and economic development in the Deep South of Madagascar, a place where climate change has induced famine. 

In this episode, we unravel how his work inside the Billion Agave Project is fueled by a fierce human spirit and the interconnection with nature. We also question what the media is doing to address the agricultural problems that are affecting natural cycles all around the planet, as well as humanity's idea of itself outside of nature.

Plus, learn how Riker is working to introduce a novel agroforestry and livestock management system to the drylands of Madagascar and break the cycle of shortage and deforestation.
