“Systems thinking is the ability to see the consequences of my own actions ” In this short video, Peter Senge, author of the Fifth Discipline, spells out what is #SystemsThinking and why it is imperative for our individual and collective wellbeing. Although we live in systems, we interact with systems and we breathe systems, most people are unaware of systems thinking and its applications in diverse fields such as as #management, #policy, #development, #politics, #SocialSciences, #health, #economics and the #environment #connections #wellbeing Shakti Saran Video run time: 1" 08' https://lnkd.in/g7rfQ7S

FOOD SYSTEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL & PLANETARY HEALTH For long we have been fed with the false narrative that food security is the only ground on which we have to continue unchecked practice of inorganic farming. To bring things into balance requires us to take a systemic view of our farming methods and to be clear of the myriad consequences of our actions To watch the recording of the webinar, please click here: https://lnkd.in/dUSePsbV
FOOD SYSTEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL & PLANETARY HEALTH Last week's webinar on food systems brought to surface that though food is central to our existence, our awareness of food related matters is peripheral. This webinar brought out hidden, obscure challenges centre-stage. Here is one precious insight among myriad others that was offered during the webinar... "On food security, I think it's important to understand it is not a question - in most countries that I'm familiar with - of enough food. It's a question of food distribution. In the United States, and actually in most other countries, we actually waste a third of the food we produce. In other words, we produce much, much more food than people actually eat. And the fact that people are still hungry is not a question that we don't have the food. It's just that we're not getting it to them. And our economics of the food system are not working. Policy focuses just on productivity at all costs, at all environmental costs and social costs, and not thinking about anything else."

FOOD SYSTEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL & PLANETARY HEALTH Permaculture addresses the limitations of formal education, making awareness of planetary wellbeing accessible and widespread. To watch the recording of the webinar, please click here: https://lnkd.in/dUSePsbV
FOOD SYSTEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL & PLANETARY HEALTH Last week's webinar on reinventing Food Systems offered a treasure-trove of insights. To a question on how Permaculture finds its way into the mainstream given that it is extremely multi-disciplinary and whereas university education is relatively narrow, here is one particularly enlightening quote... "You know, one of the things that I think is interesting about permaculture is that it has become an independent educational system. That is myceliating outside of the the conventional education system. It's getting passed from farmer to farmer, from community to community. You know it. It just goes because it makes sense, and people pass it on because they see that it works. And so that's how it's reached around the world without any top down organization. It's a self-organizing system that just spreads like the mycelial networks underneath the soil. That's how it works, and there's power in that."

Food is central to our existence and yet awareness of food related matters is peripheral to humanity's consciousness. This webinar brought out those hidden, obscure challenges centre-stage and the panellists shared their expertise and wisdom on how we can shape food systems to engender individual and planetary well-being. Morag Gamble Peter Lehner Shakti Saran Earthjustice
Last week, I was in conversation with Morag Gamble, Founder of Permaculture Education Institute and Peter Lehner, Managing Attorney at Earthjustice. Some of the key takeaways: 1. Industrial food has resulted in severe nutrient deficiency affecting our gut health. Food systems now drive more ill-health than smoking. 2. Food systems contribute the most to biodiversity loss and as much to climate change as fossil fuels do but in our urbanised world there is hardly any visibility of this. At a global level, 70% of agricultural land is used for grazing and animal farming. 70% of all birds on the planet are chicken. Switching to a plant diet would mean using much less land and lesser biodiversity loss. 3. The food-security narrative justifying the continued misuse of the Green Revolution is flawed because food shortage is related to distribution and wastage of food and not intrinsically dependent on farm ‘yields’ 4. The #Permaculture movement is a whole-systems approach that covers food, nature and people and includes #EarthCare, #PeopleCare, #FairShare and Inter-generational equity. 5. Restoring equilibrium and sustainability requires us to focus on localisation of food systems, re-wilding farms, increase crop diversity, rehydrate soil and restore water cycles 6. Government subsidies need to be reoriented to shift subsidies to produce healthier food that causes less environmental damage.

WEBINAR | FOOD SYSTEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL & PLANETARY HEALTH | 19 SEPT 2024 Food is what fuels our planet and makes us what we are. Yet, never before in human history have we encountered abundance accompanied by reckless environmental degradation. We now hear of grand and horrific stories all at once. For instance, we are reminded of the great achievements of the green revolution and in equal measure of the toxicity that it has left behind. What are we to make of all of this? Shakti Saran, Founder Shaktify, will be in conversation with Morag Gamble, Founder, Permaculture Education Institute and Peter Lehner, Managing Attorney, Earthjustice. They will demystify the world of industrial food systems and its implications on our personal health, the well-being of humanity and the health of our planet. Make sure to be there! #FoodSystems #IndustrialAgriculture #Permaculture #health #hunger #ClimateChange #SoilErosion #EnvironmentalDegradation
