After contracting Lyme's Disease, Kt's farming passion had to come to an end after 20 years. Kt fostered her hope - a key quality of any palliative carer - through redesigning her life and her livelihood around her new condition using permaculture as her launching point, eventually finding value in teaching and sharing permaculture through her artwork and through mentoring on the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design.
 
In this episode you will learn about the value of a planned death; how to apply your design skills to new and uncomfortable scenarios; taking an intersectional approach to ecological design and, of course, the importance of finding your niche in crafting your own unique, regenerative livelihood.

Big thanks as always to Mike Love for his song Permanent Holiday.

Finding it hard to focus on a particular cause? Unsure whether or not you are effectively serving your cause?
This can be a regular feeling for activists and purpose-driven entrepreneurs, and it is a feeling that can be disabling and disorientating. Finn shares one particular framework he finds useful to find focus and also to explore the root of a particular passion or cause to which you have created an attachment.
Finn also shares some of his own journey in exploring purpose, cause and focus.

After writing a report on a just food transition commissioned by East Anglia Food Link, Josiah and co became obsessed with the disconnect between the crops in the fields and the communities that lived beside them, and thus Hodmedod's was born. The daily work of Hodmedod's is to bring farms, farmers, consumers and the food on your plate into closer connection through facilitating sales of British-grown staple foods, such as the mighty fava bean.
 
In this episode you will learn about a disruptive enterprise interupting business-as-usual arable farming of commodity crops; You will learn about the history of the broad bean in Britain; You will learn about how to create a sense of place thruogh regenerative supply webs; The novel idea of the Agroecological Premium as well as the Future Crops Fund; and a few insider tips on how to get going on your own regenerative business idea.
 
Quote of the episode:
"I prefer to think that we’re a node that brings transparency to a network and that we’re facilitating a relationship between the farm and the food on your plate...There needs to be a much more diverse picture and at the moment it’s a monoculture...of our minds, but also of the business models that are used to deliver food to us.”
