Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Food Forest Podcast: Jyde Hamoonga – How farmers regenerate Africa with food forests
Q: The host asks: What is the biggest achievement you're most proud of in your work with policy, farmers, and schools?
Jyde describes the formation and acceptance of Community Forest Management Groups by traditional leaders, enabling communities to manage land and forest resources, which marked a significant milestone in policy influence and local ownership of regeneration activities.
Food Forest Podcast: Jyde Hamoonga – How farmers regenerate Africa with food forests
Q: The host asks: What is FMNR and how is it developed and scaled in Zambia?
Jyde explains that FMNR stands for Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration. It combines farming and naturally occurring trees to regenerate land, using low-cost, easily replicable practices that can be embedded in broader re-greening strategies. Scaling occurs through catalyst projects and partnerships, and by integrating FMNR into government extension services to sustain adoption.
Food Forest Podcast: Zach Weiss – How Do You Create a Water Plan for Your Food Forest?
Q: How do you communicate with engineers who rely on rule-based maps?
I seek common ground by translating concepts into their terms, sometimes using test holes or drilling to verify map data, and then gradually integrate landscape-based reasoning with engineering insights.
Food Forest Podcast: Zach Weiss – How Do You Create a Water Plan for Your Food Forest?
Q: What is your approach to designing functional water retention landscapes?
Begin by understanding the people's goals, but then immediately study the landscape without their biases, perform test slices to map water movement and soil layers, and align interventions with what the landscape can sustainably support.
Food Forest Podcast: Alan Carter – Scotland’s Guide to Sustainable Growth
Q: When you're starting out, what would you recommend them to start with?
What you like. There's no point in growing stuff just because it's good to grow. You've got to want to eat it.
