Kelsey Timmerman – “What Are People For?” (June 16, 2024)

 

 

Join us this morning for “What Are People For,” with guest speaker Kelsey Timmerman. Regenerative agriculture isn’t an exciting new thing. Regenerative agriculture is an exciting old thing. As it’s been practiced by Indigenous people for thousands of years, it is not centered on extraction but on relationships with the natural world; it is not just about farming, but about our relationships with science and technology, each other, and ourselves. While it’s grounded in the soil, it’s about human rights and environmental justice, about diversity versus monocultures, the pursuit of profit versus life. I started to see that thinking regeneratively is about so much more than growing food or checking a few boxes of farming practices. It’s something each of us could practice in our daily lives. It’s about reconnecting with the natural world during a time when many of us prefer to stream shows from the cloud than watch the clouds from a stream.
