16th May – Positive Nature Network
Positive Nature Network - May 16th
Could our future depend on relearning what it means to be indigenous?
The positive nature network exists with the aim to connect every business with nature so that we and the planet can thrive.
Through our online events and community meet ups we connect those looking for sustainable ideas for their businesses, create a platform for new projects to gather help and funding and create a space for organisations to share knowledge and invest in sustainable ideas.
This month we're considering the question, could our future depend on relearning what it means to be indigenous? We'll be joined by a pioneer of deep regenerative farming in the UK, Marcus Link.
Featured Speaker
Marcus Link
Marcus is a radical natural entrepreneur, researcher and writer. He is a co-founder of New Foundation Farms (a regenerative farming business with nature as a shareholder) and of the Holos Earth Project. He also writes as the Quantum Poet and publishes on his blog foolsjourney.me where you can find out more about his belief that there is always a possibility for humans to become a beneficial keystone species on planet Earth. This attitude guides him in everything he does. Born in Ireland, educated in Germany, he now lives on a smallholding on Dartmoor in the county of Devon in England where he is exploring ways of becoming indigenous to the land.
Featured Presentation
Marcus is a radical natural entrepreneur, researcher and writer. He is a co-founder of New Foundation Farms (a regenerative farming business with nature as a shareholder) and of the Holos Earth Project.
Here he talks to the Positive Nature Network about New Foundation Farms and why we need to think indigenously in order to make smaller communities of our big ones.
At new foundation farms we are building a regenerative agrifood enterprise which will produce food and fibre in a way that supports our soils, our communities and our health.
