Eco Communities Are The Future with James Ehrlich, Founder of Regen Villages Holding

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, and James Ehrlich, Founder of Regen Villages Holding. 

James is an Entrepreneur in Residence at Stanford University School of Medicine, a Senior Fellow at the NASA Ames Research Center, and on the White House and State Department Joint Task Force for Food, Water, Energy & Waste. He’s a co-author of the UN Sustainability Platform Brief "Regenerative Community Development," and received the Singularity University Global Grand Challenge Award in the category of Shelter. James has also been awarded as the winning national public television producer and director, and best-selling published author.

In this episode, James talks about how current industrial agriculture is an inefficient way to sustainably feed 10 billion people, the importance of self guidance and being open to change in life, and how drawing inspiration from indigenous wisdom afforded him the premise for creating Regen Villages.
