Description

What does it mean to save a seed? And how can something so small carry the potential to reshape our ecosystems - and ourselves?




In today’s episode, my guest is Andrew McMillion, a regenerative farmer, teacher, and passionate seed saver. Working with the Norwegian Seed Savers, Andrew is deeply involved in preserving Nordic cultivars and creating resilient, locally adapted ecosystems. But his work doesn’t stop there.


We explore the role seeds play in the broader web of life - how the health of the soil mirrors our own well-being, and how ecological science, slow solutions, and human-scale technologies can help us reconnect with the natural world. We’ll dive into permaculture, deep ecology, and the idea that by going inward, we can also transform the world around us.


How does a shift in perspective - one that centers life itself - change the way we approach the environmental crises we face today?


Stay until the end, where Andrew shares a poem that gave me goosebumps.
