Sandor Katz - Fermentation as Metaphor (and discussing the "Critical Yeast Concept")

from Big things. Little things.

Tune into my conversation with Sandor Katz, lover of sauerkraut, fermentation revivalist and author of many wonderful books including Wild Fermentation, The Art of Fermentation, Fermentation as Metaphor and his latest release, Fermentation, A Natural History. Today, we chat about fermentation in general and also stretch our imaginations to use fermentation as a metaphor to discuss social change. In particular I pick Sandor's brain about something called the "Critical Yeast Concept" (developed by John Paul Lederach), which talks about how to create lasting, sustainable, social change, using the analogy of bread baking. Sandor Katz Website: https://www.wildfermentation.com/ Sandor Katz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandorkraut/?hl=en Sandor Katz Books: https://www.wildfermentation.com/which-book/ To read more about the Critical Yeast Concept: https://www.dailygood.org/story/2427/from-critical-mass-to-critical-yeast-john-paul-lederach/On Mass and Movement by John Paul Lederach: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.iirp.edu/images/conf_downloads/OAQlEm_On_Mass__Movement_-_The_Theory_of_Critical_Yeast_Lederach_2005.pdf
