  • Sustainable Living Practices | Tane no Chikara (Seedbed) | Saurabh Nanda | SCM Ep 18

    “...people used to make everything on their own…we should have that skill…how to manage things on our own…and we are trying to do all those things on seedbed…” - Daisuke and Yuumi Meet the team behind Tane no Chikara or Seedbed! Daisuke Kaneko decided to do something about how we will today. He wanted to go back to nature and make sustainable living practices that others can follow and emulate. That is when he started Tane no Chikara, where he can put in the seeds of sustainability, with Yuumi Okuda. They had to move to Awaji, a rural island in Japan, to realise their dream. Michele, a passionate advocate of permaculture and nature conservation, found Tane no Chikara and started working with them to build earthbag houses, chemical-less agriculture and composting, creating education programs for students and young professionals in Japan. Being part of the Awaji Youth Federation in 2019, I got the golden opportunity to volunteer at Tane no Chikara, learn from the team, create conversations around SDGs and conduct corporate training modules for Japanese professionals.

About Such Conversations Matter (SCM)

From the publisher's feed

SCM is a collection of conversations that should be part of our daily discussions but aren't because of various reasons. SCM is a place where I talk to people who are niche experts and/or have developed expertise through their life experience on the themes of Sustainability, Tech for Good, Global Citizenship, Mental Health, Education and other areas. Hello everyone, I am Saurabh Nanda and I ask interesting questions. I was a Computer Engineer. I am now an Educator, a Career Consultant, and a sustainability proponent.
