[@plantificationpodcast]

The best point made that I have been trying to get plant based doctors to understand is that WE are soil. And telling people that soil doesn't matter, as long as you get vegetables into you is a little shy of a healthy understanding but we're getting there. 😉🌱🌱 The soil microbiome is the same system relative to our own.

I think architecture has a lot to answer for a lot of problems. For instance... Everyone in their individual boxes with the no social interaction unless the go out. Gardens are individual and therefore cut off from each other. How about future villages, towns etc built with several, central fields that everyone has to look after at some point through the year. Outside exercise, community spirit, people helping each other.
