A Good Conversation About Regeneration #12
Nothing wakes you up quite like death.
For Sean O'Farrell, organic farmer from Ireland, killing all the earthworms kick started his own journey to organic farming.
This week on A Good Conversation with Jaap Fris, Niels Moshagen and others we talked about shifting the minds of conventional farmers to regenerative practises.
Change is hard. We're hardwired to hold on.
But, as with Sean, death is a good start point. Letting go of old ideas, of old practises, is like mourning. We're likely very invested (financially, emotionally, mentally) in our old ways of thinking and doing. This investment makes change hard. We need to mourn the old.
That's one way, anyway.
We also talk about top down vs bottom up change, about being told what you can't do vs celebrating new things you might want to do instead.
Shifting mindsets, behaviours and practises to more regenerative ideas is a big task, touching on all these ideas and more.
If you’re interested in regenerative ideas and principles, or are working in regeneration (whether on a farm or not!), or have heard about it and are curious, then we’re for you!
Join us each Monday afternoon for conversation, questions and Anglo-Dutch good times (more on that later!).
