Knowledge, Community, Scaling: Catch up with Peter Byck
Description
At the start of April I managed to catch back up with Peter Byck for this chat which feels well timed not just because it was a rare pause in his ongoing schedule of travels, but because there's a lot being rolled out right now by the whole 'Roots So Deep' team to scale up the impact that the docu-series has already seeded.
We talk about:
- Touring with Roots So Deep
- The importance of taking action (for regeneration)
- Food resilience and nutrient density
- Community, scaling & next steps for Roots So Deep
For more background about Roots So Deep you can check out my previous interview with Peter: https://www.wearecarbon.earth/peter-byck-roots-so-deep/
Or head to their website where you can watch the trailer, rent the series and explore their new Patreon & podcast: https://rootssodeep.org/
Check out the special compilation from We Are Carbon which also features Peter:
It's called "Time to Look At It Differently - Because Carbon Builds Life". Find it here: https://www.wearecarbon.earth/because-carbon-builds-life/
