John Moore, former president of Patagonia Japan is a social entrepreneur, a permaculture teacher, and a protector of seeds, soil and life. Living in Japan, he has been growing organic food for over 45 years. He is the CEO of the Seeds of Life Institute; an international, sustainable education and research centre of Seeds of Life, Japan. Seeds of Life, Japan has inspired and produced local seed libraries across Japan for almost two decades.
In their own words: The aim of Seeds of Life Institute (sol-institute.com/) is to restore natural capitals into local nutrition ECOnomies. This network of local ECOnomies are networked into an off and online system of sustainable food. Seeds of Life Institute focuses on youth training local botanical engineers, trainers and local organisers with skills to support the next generation of inclusive local communities.
In this wonderful conversation (part 1 because it was so long!), John and Gwyneth discuss soil, seeds, GMO (F1) seeds and the shocking lack of education and understanding that people have over what they are putting into their bodies.
The Story Anew is a podcast and video series in which we'll meet amazing people from all over the world who are working to redefine the dominant narrative of our times - that of infinite growth and consumption. These are the people working towards what Joanna Macy calls The Great Turning - the shifting of our Industrial Growth Society, which prioritises infinite growth over life - to a Life Sustaining Society.
The people you'll meet are working in regeneration, activism, systems design, permaculture, trauma healing, decolonisation, climate change and generally working to fundamentally change the way we do things as a species so that we can live on this planet more harmoniously with our fellow beings and become good ancestors.
