Such an amazing perspective. If regenerative was a language it would sound like this. I love the humilty aspect in this conversation. We all ought to be gentle in our approach to life. It goes a long way in ensuring we are of sound mind when engage in all activities towards our regenerative goals.
Love the speakers enthusiasm for the magic of nature! Couldn’t agree more, (agri)business and rather than development!
