When I have the opportunity to visit new places I seek out local farmers markets. It’s super important to me to support local farmers. Growing organic, non-GMO, pesticide-free large scale fruit and vege is not easy. It’s a precious thing. I know from my dad who is an amazing grower and my number 1 resource for my own green thumb advice. 🥒🥕 Sourcing food at local markets is a easy way to reduce our human footprint while also investing money on reciprocal, community run networks which uphold integrity and nature. Plus the sensory experience and hum of community ‘fill the cup’. The smells, flavours, characters, buskers, serendipitous conversations, all soul-food. Has anyone seen the new documentary from the amazing vandanashivamovie yet? The Seeds of Vandana Shiva. She’s such an inspiration. My wonderful friend helenanorberghodge who helped set up the markets in my community and also pioneered localfutures_ made a great film on the importance of localisation, The Economics Of Happiness. I’d highly recommend it if the topic interests you. I’m so grateful for her work and proud of her legacy. #local #localise #organic #organicfarming #farmersmarket #localfoodgroup #vandanashiva #heldnanorberghodge #nongmo #pesticidefree #NoMonsanto #NoBayerMonsanto #localmarket #reciprocity #theseedsofvandanashiva #theecconomicsofhappiness

Who else has read Braiding Sweetgrass? I’m in love with Robin Wall Kimmerer’s words and listening to her warm caramel voice on audio book. She has an exquisite gift of weaving indigenous wisdoms, scientific and personal insights into a poetry of words. • “Native scholar Greg Cajete has written that in indigenous ways of knowing, we understand a thing only when we understand it with all four aspects of our being: mind, body, emotion, and spirit. I came to understand quite sharply when I began my training as a scientist that science privileges only one, possibly two, of those ways of knowing: mind and body. As a young person wanting to know everything about plants, I did not question this. But it is a whole human being who finds the beautiful path.” • “The mycorrhizae may form fungal bridges between individual trees, so that all the trees in a forest are connected. These fungal networks appear to redistribute the wealth of carbohydrates from tree to tree. A kind of Robin Hood, they take from the rich and give to the poor so that all the trees arrive at the same carbon surplus at the same time. They weave a web of reciprocity, of giving and taking. In this way, the trees all act as one because the fungi have connected them. Through unity, survival. All flourishing is mutual. Soil, fungus, tree, squirrel, boy—all are the beneficiaries of reciprocity.” • #BraidingSweetgrass #Indigenous #Wisdom #Scientific #Knowledge and the #TeachingsofPlants •
