Regenerative by Design

About Regenerative by Design

Regenerative by Design Podcast where we get to the root of health, climate, economics and food.  Host, Joni Kindwall-Moore, is an RN, an Ethnobotanist and the founder of Snacktivist Foods. Join us on this journey as we explore the ideas, stories and personalities behind the regenerative food system movement including climate change, human health, economics and food as well as other deeply interconnected topics. In this podcast, we will be “going there” and leaning into topics that might make you squirm… just a little.  We want to challenge ourselves to think outside of the box and to discover the deeper side of our world’s problems so that we can better understand how to solve them. We aim to unpack some of the most dynamic issues of our day with some of the most inspiring minds who are pushing the boundaries of our current norms and thinking paradigms. We have seen incredibly disruptive events in the past few years like pandemics, climate events, disasters and war. These often trigger system changes that are reactionary and have short term gains. When these are practiced over the long term, they often have a degenerative effect on health and the environment. Regenerative design thinking is the opposite, and is an intentional, premeditated process that involves a high level of observation, analysis, creativity, and looking beyond reductionistic principles while embracing systems thinking and additionality to create regenerative solutions. Regenerative agriculture has become a powerful force for positive transformation and hope in todays world. And no discussion about agriculture is complete without a conversation about food. Food is the connection between people and the planet so grab a cup of coffee or your favorite running shoes and get ready to take a mental and philosophical leap into the future of food and our planet.

Published 3 Apr 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And we may not think about that because a huge portion of the grain grown in Colorado goes into liquid, beer and spirits. A lot of the food system, but we can also think about the concentration of grain that goes into a bottle of our whiskey or anybody's spirits. It can range between 14 and 24 pounds of grain in a single bottle of spirits. So the... Really wild. I had never heard that until you mentioned that last week. It blew my mind. Yeah, it's like it's a concentrated form of grain sugars or ingredient sugars. Yeah. So it could have an oversized impact on how we grow it and the systems that we use to get that grain from the ground into that bottle. […]
