The algorithm was just right not too long ago that I happened upon Seb Jagoe's Instagram reel and became obsessed with his excitement and vast knowledge about soil and growing. It's always a little nerve wracking to reach out cold to a stranger, but this time, at least, Seb was just so gracious to talk with me and share this message. I've had many conversations about soil health on the podcast, but Seb's energy alone is exciting, and different. He talks about the history of soil health, and also when he first started talking about soil. We also discuss the importance of taking care of our soil; how it's not a thing - it's a process. He talks a. lot about Indigenous Knowledge, and food forests, and how the white men took food forests over from the Native Americans and depleted them with so many of our current practices (weed and pest control, monocropping, to name a couple).He has big plans to educate as many people as possible through his social media videos to share his passion for nutrient dense foods and attracting pollinators - all without fertilizers and pest control - because healthy soil and plants will ward off pests naturally!Seb asks that we consider quality over convenience whenever possible. The  waste from overconsumption and cheap junk is poisoning our water and soil currently. He said when asked what the word sustainability means to him that sustainability isn't good enough - and he's not wrong! Who wants things to continue as they are, after all? Don't we want better? If not for ourselves, for the next generation? What an enlightening conversation! Listen here!
