Today I'm so excited to be interviewing Helena Norberg-Hodge. Helena is an author, a filmmaker and founding director of Local Futures. Local Futures is committed to the revitalisation of cultural and biological diversity and the strengthening of local communities and economics worldwide. 

Helena has published several books including international bestseller 'Ancient Futures' which is a look into tradition and change in Ladakh.  She is also the producer of the film 'Economics of Happiness'. 

On Helena's website she has this beautiful saying: 

"Localization is the way to repair our fractured world, our ecosystems and ourselves." 

I first met Helena when Mak and I were planning our motorbike trip in the Himalayas in 2011. A client of mine introduced me to Helena and I bought Helena's book 'Ancient Futures'. We didn't actually make it into Ladakh because going on the Spiti circuit took a lot longer than we thought. We do take our time when we're travelling. 

I read 'Ancient Futures' and it changed my life. It had a huge, lasting impact on my life. I have also had the good fortune to listen to Helena speak on several occasions and I have taken a lot of what Helena has said into my life and into my business. 

Before meeting Helena I'd already been buying local produce from the farmer’s market but after reading the book and watching Economics of Happiness, my spending locally really went up to the next level. It's my honour to welcome Helena Norberg-Hodge

In this interview 

we talk about; 

why it is important to shop locally,

what impact it has on communities worldwide,  

and what you can do to buy more locally.

Welcome, welcome, Helena. I'm so excited to have you here.

Hey, did you know I'm a really good cook? I actually think the food that I cook is sensational. I don't have a sprig of doubt. Did you hear the pun there? And before you're thinking that I'm the most big-headedest person in the world, it's taken me a long time to really be able to say that publicly, but I say it because I know it's true. And I wasn't always a sensational cook.

In this episode I share with you five tips on how to make your food taste sensational, so you will have your taste buds popping and people you cook for wanting to come back for more and more.

I also share how the Vegan Chef training was born and how incredible this course is, not just for people wanting to create a plant based food business. Many people have attended this course for their home use and to cook for themselves and their loved ones.

Do you buy organic food? Do you eat organic food? Or have you been thinking about buying and eating organic food, but you're pretty confused about whether it's actually worth the money and actually good for you or not? I personally have eaten organic produce for the last 23 years, and I can see clearly the positive benefits to my health. 

There is so little scientific evidence on the benefits of organic food, which confuses people a lot.

In this episode of the Vegan Cooking and Nutrition Podcast, I share with you my thoughts and insights into why I believe organic food is much better for you. I'll share with you a summary of the science that I've found on the benefits of eating organic food, plus some tips on how to keep the costs down. 

I cover 

Ø   My story with eating organic food

Ø   The history of chemical farming

Ø   The negatives of chemical farming

Ø   Why I choose to eat organic food

Ø   The difference between ammonium nitrate and nitrogen

Ø   Organic food is higher in nutrients

Ø   High Levels of nitrate are related to risks of some cancers

Ø   Tips on how to keep the cost of organic food down
