ABOUT THE EPISODE
On this episode I meet with Mathew Dix, Farm Director of Island Grown Initiative (IGI). Mathew is a lifelong farmer with vast experience working with nonprofits and agriculture.
Join me as I learn more about regenerative farming practices, carbon sequestration, and the amazing programs that IGI runs here on Martha’s Vineyard. From “rescuing” food waste from the community, to building farming practice for a better future, IGI covers a lot of ground.
“Sustainable was the buzzword for so many years... sustainability is no longer an option… if we sustain where we are right now we’re not going to survive, so we need to regenerate. We need to actually create a better future in the farmlands that we have and by doing so we’re sequestering carbon from the air. ”
