In this 8th installment of our deep dive into Paul Hawken's New York Times Bestseller - Regeneration: Ending The Climate Crisis in One Generation, we dive into the subject of Food, the problems of big agriculture and big food, and how we can correct this global issue through wasting nothing, eating everything, localizing our food choices, the decommodification of foods, protection of pollinators, and eating mindfully from responsible, regenerative sources.
