#111 If They Control Your Food, They Control YOU: How to Take Back Your Power

Our food system is sick, and so are we. From pesticides and monocrops to fragile global supply chains, convenience has cost us our health, our animals, and our soil. In this timely, uplifting episode, Catherine sits down with Vikki Ede (nutritional therapist, co-lead at the People’s Food & Farming Alliance and community coordinator at My Little Farm) to unpack how food sovereignty restores health, resilience, and freedom. Vicki shares her own beginner-to-grower journey, why even a windowsill sprout can be a radical act, and exactly how communities are rebuilding local, regenerative food networks that nourish people and the planet.⏰ In this episode02:20 Vikki's Journey to Growing Her Own Food05:08 The Importance of Food Sovereignty07:01 Challenges and Successes in Growing Food08:10 The Impact of Industrial Farming11:10 Learning and Adapting in Regenerative Farming15:01 The People's Food and Farming Alliance (PFFA)16:56 Reconnecting with Traditional Farming Practices18:43 Building Community Through Growing Food20:15 Building Confidence in Community Gardening20:58 Personal Gardening Success Stories23:04 Flagship Courses and Community Initiatives24:39 Workshops on Food Preservation and Herbal Apothecary26:19 Seasonal Eating Program and Seed Harvesting29:38 Empowerment Through Self-Sufficiency32:30 Generational Learning and Community Support33:12  Future Plans37:23 Connecting and Contributing to the CommunityTo Connect with PFFA / Vikki:https://www.the-pffa.org/https://instagram.com/peoplesfoodandfarmingalliance  https://linktr.ee/thepffahttps://www.facebook.com/groups/thepffahttps://pffa.newzenler.com/Transform Your Home & Life with FLFE✨ 💡 One of the best decisions I have ever made was giving FLFE a trial.
