Ethan Roland Soloviev - Regenerative Agriculture

The Permaculture Podcast Tree with Roots Logo

Ethan Roland Soloviev joins me to share one of his current projects to define the phrase Regenerative Agriculture in an open way, via the website Regenerative Agriculture Definition. This site takes an Open Source / Creative Commons approach to defining a phrase that, much like our beloved Permaculture, can be a bit hard to pin down based on who you are talking to and their experiences with the term and in the act of doing the work.

Read the Regenerative Agriculture Definition White Paper (PDF). This served as my first foray into this modern approach to discuss what it means to practice Regenerative Agriculture. I don't necessarily feel any closer to it now than I did when we started, but commend Ethan et al. on addressing meaning within a larger community. In the resource section, rather than just link to each of the companies and organizations Ethan mentioned doing good work, I chose to link to the various vision, mission, and philosophical statements underpinning what they do. Let's focus on their ideas, not just the products.

Dyami Nason-Regan and Ethan Roland - Gaia University & Appleseed Permaculture, LLC

The Permaculture Podcast Tree with Roots Logo

I interview Dyami Nason-Regan and Ethan Roland of Appleseed Permaculture, beginning with their backgrounds and development of Appleseed Permaculture, LLC., including a conversation on the role of an entrepreneurial spirit when one runs a business, and the need for a consistency of communication with clients.

They were recommended to me as guests because of their work with Gaia University, where they both earned a Master's Degree in Eco-Social Design. If you've done work at a western university, Gaia University's program is considerably different, which you'll hear. I was left speechless for a moment, though took that out in production so you didn't have to hear me sit with my jaw agape. Find out more at their website: appleseedpermaculture.com. There you can see their work, read the blog, Ethan's 8 Forms of Capital, and get involved with the Appleseed Land Managers program. Dyami and Ethan engage with their work in a way that is refreshing, dynamic, and affirming. I left the interview feeling the same way as when I finished my PDC: tired, amazed, and knowing people are doing incredible work to make this world a truly better place for everyone. May you enjoy this time with Dyami and Ethan as much as I did.
