Скачать или смотреть Understanding The Forgotten Wisdom of Local, Seasonal Food with @KrishnaMckenzie ​

What does it mean to live with the land, not just on it?

In this episode of @SustainableTeaWithShreya Shreya Ghodawat sits down with Krishna McKenzie, natural farmer, artist, and longtime Aurovilian whose life is rooted in a simple, yet radical idea: nature knows best.
From his early days in the UK to building a life around soil and soul in Tamil Nadu, Krishna’s story weaves together spirituality, natural farming, cultural food wisdom, and a deep connection to place.

We talk about:
1) Leaving behind the noise of modern life to reconnect with food and land
2) How eating local is not a trend, but a return to something sacred
3) The influence of J. Krishnamurti and Masanobu Fukuoka on his life and work
4) Why is natural farming more than a method? it’s a mindset
5) The quiet power of indigenous ingredients and food as memory
6) How restoring our food systems could be the most powerful climate solution we already have

From edible weeds to corporate farms, school lunches to balcony gardens, this episode is an invitation to rethink the way we eat, grow, and live. Whether you’re in a city apartment or surrounded by fields, this one will make you pause, reflect, and maybe plant something.

If this conversation moves you, share it, start a dialogue, or simply ask your grandparents what they used to eat. That one question could be your first step back to the soil.
