Reviving Local Food Culture: Community Farming, Raising Meat Rabbits & Harnessing Microbes
This episode is a conversation with my friend and fellow foodie Antonin Filicetti. Antonin is a teacher, farmer, forager, fermented, and chef. He considers himself a steward of culture, facilitating experiential learning that reconnects people to the relationships and skills that root food to place. His formal background is in medicine, psychology, nutrition, and organic agriculture. In the last decade, he has practiced a wide range of land management and food production techniques including permaculture, KNF, community gardens, and large-scale food forests. His recent focus is on community nourishment systems, reviving a culture of hands-on connection to our food.
