Fred Provenza: Healthy Soils, Healthy Animals, Healthy People

Author, professor, and leader Fred Provenza has been studying how animals balance their own diets when given a choice. Over the course of 300 research papers, he has helped illustrate the fact that everything is connected - from the health of our soils to the health of plant life to the health of livestock to human health. He has authored three books, including “Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom”, “Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World of Change”, and “The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders” - we encourage you to look them up! It is a joy to see the world the way Fred does.In this wide ranging conversation, Fred and Peter discuss the importance of soil health, the connection between the health of our foods and our own thriving, and the challenges facing a world that overlooks how interconnected things truly are.Sign-up for our newsletter: https://rootssodeep.org/take-action/newsletter-sign-upFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carboncowboys/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carboncowboys/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@carbon_cowboys"When you stand on healthy soil, there's a universe beneath your feet."
