Tim Christophersen joins the Internet of Nature Podcast to talk about his new book, Generation Restoration, and why nature isn't a luxury—it's our only home. From his first steps in the forest with his forester grandfather to leading the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and now as VP of Climate Action at Salesforce, Tim shares why waiting for perfection paralyzes companies, what greenwashing gets wrong, and how corporate pledges can move from CSR to true business resilience.We explore why our ecological crisis is rooted in a 300-year-old worldview, how oyster reefs once filtered New York Harbor daily (and could again), and why AI might help “make us all ecologists,” from smallholder farmers in Colombia to city dwellers identifying birdsong. Plus: the role of imagination in rewriting our relationship with nature, the personal challenge of writing a book with Jane Goodall's final foreword, and why, as Tim says, “Nature is waiting. It's time to come home.”

Send us a textWhat happens when your language becomes a battleground for identity, education, and cultural sovereignty? When Oneil Madden, a Jamaican linguist who speaks five languages, joined me for this conversation, we uncovered the profound connections between language, heritage, and self-perception that shape the Caribbean experience both at home and abroad.Oneil shares his journey to becoming a lecturer at the University of Technology, where his passion for language education has fueled groundbreaking research. The revelation that really struck me was his experience of being told by a French supervisor that he was bilingual—something he hadn't fully internalized until his twenties despite growing up speaking both Jamaican Creole and English. This moment mirrors so many of our experiences as Caribbean people, where our native language is often dismissed as merely "bad English" rather than recognized as the sophisticated linguistic system it truly is.We dive deep into the challenges facing Jamaican Creole today—from standardization efforts by the Jamaican Language Unit to the fascinating paradox that while most Jamaicans speak Patois fluently, many struggle to read it in its codified form. The translation of the New Testament into Jamaican Creole serves as a powerful example of both the progress made and the distance still to travel. As artificial intelligence increasingly enters the language landscape, we confront complicated questions about who "owns" Jamaican Patois. Is it something to gatekeep, or should we celebrate its growing global influence? .Language shapes how we see ourselves and how the world sees us. If you've ever felt your accent was a weakness rather than a strength, or if you're curious about the future of Caribbean languages in a digital age, this conversation will resonate deeply. Resources Mentioned:Jamaican Language Unit at UWI MonaJamaican New Testament (via Bible app)UN Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022–2032)BBC article on Patois in Toronto Subscribe to the Newsletter Support How to Support Carry On Friends Donate: If you believe in our mission and want to help amplify Caribbean voices, consider making a donation.

Paul Brophy Produce grows almost 11 million broccoli plants annually on 600 acres of land, supplying 75% of all broccoli plants on supermarket shelves. Starting with just 5 acres in 1983, Paul has spent the last three decades building his edible empire, investing heavily in land, innovative technologies, and relationships with every major retailer in the country.   In this episode of Food Matters, Paul joins Mick Kelly of GIY to talk about his 30-year entrepreneurial journey, the highs and lows of building his market-leading company, and what needs to be done to solve the crisis in our food-growing industry.   · Why broccoli is known as the ‘diva' of the vegetable world  · The unique machinery, technology and systems that Paul uses to grow his plants  · Why climate change, contrary to popular belief, presents an opportunity for Irish food producers  · The damage that below-cost selling is doing to the food industry and food sustainability  · What needs to happen to avoid empty supermarket shelves and even more food producers leaving the industry -How broccoli is competing with ultra-processed foods  GIY are proud to align our mission, vision and impact with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In response to the urgency of the climate crisis, and in line with the UN Decade of Action, our ambition at GIY is to inspire 100 million people around the world to grow some of their own food by 2030.Join the GIY movement by following our social channels and signing up to our newsletter on GIY.ie 

Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) and BioAtlantis have announced the launch of an innovative new research initiative, VASEACAD (Valorising Seafood Side Streams, Residues, Unwanted Catches and Discards). The project is funded under the EU-SBEP-2 Call (Second Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership) and is supported by the Marine Institute. With a total funding award of €1.6 million, including €299,525 granted to TU Dublin, the VASEACAD project brings together a consortium of 10 partners from across the EU. The project aims to transform fish processing by-products (materials that are typically discarded), into bioactive protein hydrolysates and other high value biomolecules through state-of-the-art bioprocessing techniques. The goal is to create functional and sustainable ingredients for commercial use, supporting a circular and resource-efficient bioeconomy. Leading the research at TU Dublin is Dr Azza Silotry Naik, Principal Investigator, lecturer and expert in food biotechnology and marine byproduct valorisation who stated: 'This project represents an exciting opportunity to develop sustainable solutions for marine by-products by leveraging bioprocessing to create ingredients with functional and commercial potential. I'm proud to collaborate with BioAtlantis and grateful to the Marine Institute for recognising the importance of this work in supporting both sustainability and innovation' Dr Naik brings substantial expertise to the initiative, having previously worked on several EU and nationally funded marine research projects, and led the development of functional ingredients in both academic and commercial R&D environments. Headquartered in County Kerry, BioAtlantis is a pioneering biotech company specialising in bioactives derived from marine and terrestrial sources. It is home to the largest seaweed extraction facility in Ireland and Britian and has a long track record of collaborating with academic institutions. Discussing the partnership, John T. O'Sullivan, CEO of BioAtlantis said: 'BioAtlantis is delighted to partner with Technological University Dublin in the VASEACAD project, focusing on converting fish by-products into valuable ingredients utilising bioprocessing techniques for different market segments. This project not only supports the circular blue bioeconomy, but also aligns with our commitment to developing sustainable, science-based solutions'. The Marine Institute, Ireland's national agency for marine research and innovation, welcomed the project's alignment with national priorities for sustainability and resource efficiency. Veronica Cunningham, Research Funding Office Manager; Marine Institute commented: 'We are pleased to support the VASEACAD project under the EU Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership. Valorisation of marine side streams is critical to reducing waste, supporting innovation, and strengthening Ireland's marine bioeconomy. Projects like this demonstrate the strength of collaborative research in delivering solutions that benefit the environment and provide opportunities for industry too.' The project is also receiving strategic support from Professor Christine O'Connor, Head of Research and Innovation, Faculty of Sciences and Health at TU Dublin. Prof O'Connor, with her expertise in waste valorisation and chemical analysis, will act as a senior advisor on the project, helping guide its scientific direction and impact. VASEACAD reflects TU Dublin's commitment to research with real-world impact, combining academic expertise, industry collaboration, and sustainability driven innovation to contribute to a more resilient and circular blue economy. The VASEACAD project is carried out with the support of the Marine Institute funded by the Government of Ireland under the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership co-funded by the European Union, and co-branded by the UN Decade of Ocean Science 2021-2030.

Professor Lucy Blue speaks to Dr Athena Trakadas, Co-founder and Co-Chair of the Ocean Decade Heritage Network (ODHN) about the role of cultural heritage within the United Nation's Ocean Decade, as part of our mini-series on climate change and its impact on marine and coastal heritage. Hear how the Ocean Decade endeavours to bring marine cultural heritage experts together with the other ocean scientists.  Sitting within the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-30), is an initiative of housed in the UN's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), and aims was set up to meet the goals of sustainable development, particularly goal STG SDG 14 – life under water - as part of the UN's 2030 Agenda. Whilst the value of cultural heritage might be intuitive to heritage practitioners working with communities that live on the sea, it was more difficult to demonstrate to others in the oceanographic sciences the necessity of addressing heritage.  However, the inclusion of cultural heritage in the discussions expanded the number of societal outcomes of the Ocean Decade, and participation in conferences and policy forums has helped bring visibility to cultural heritage at the inter-governmental and national levels.  Nonetheless, changes in policy and governance are still needed to create a more integrated, holistic, and sustainable approach, and working to change minds remains the biggest challenge! The hope is that the UN Ocean Decade will change perspectives and bring about the ‘Ocean We Want' inclusive of cultural heritage. 

Welcome to this ClimateGenn episode recorded during COP29 in Baku, a conference unashamedly hijacked by the fossil fuel industry. John D. Liu is a renowned ecologist, filmmaker, and environmental advocate. Liu's later career has been dedicated to large-scale ecosystem restoration, emphasising the profound impact of natural regeneration in combating climate change. His pioneering work with the Ecosystem Restoration Camps and his advocacy for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration have made significant contributions to global environmental efforts. This discussion offers profound insights into reimagining our future through the lens of ecological restoration and sustainability. If you are concerned about the future then why not travel with me through every COP conference from COP21 in Paris to COP28 in Dubai, by ordering my book ‘COPOUT - How governments have failed the people on climate'. In COPOUT you'll gain insights into what actually is going on in these supposed world saving conferences and how we have ended up in this dire era of dangerous consequences.

Flexens, Lhyfe and Stockholm University published the full report on the 'BOxHy' project launched in October 2023. Its conclusions outline the 'BOxIn' offshore oxygen injection pilot project, which will be announced in a few months' time and is expected to last around 6 years. The partners also welcome the growing interest among scientists, industry and institutions in the major issue of ocean "asphyxiation" (deoxygenation) and the option of reoxygenation, with the prominent example of the United Nations, which endorsed this project as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 until October 2024. The 'deoxygenation' of the oceans is a growing global phenomenon that is impacting humankind All around the world, the oceans have been reportedly losing oxygen since the 1950s, caused by global warming and water pollution. On one hand, global warming is increasing the surface temperature of the water, thereby altering the concentration of oxygen in the water, altering the stratification and marine currents (their routes and properties). On the other hand, the nutrients discharged into the coastal environment through run-off from land (coming notably through fertilisers or wastewater) generate excessive algal blooms. As bacteria break down algae and consume oxygen, an increase in algae leads to more oxygen being used by the bacteria - this process is called eutrophication. When there is no longer enough oxygen, the bacteria start to mobilize substances, such as phosphorus, formerly stored in the sediment, which helps to feed new algae. This vicious circle depletes the oxygen content, which at a certain point is no longer sufficient to sustain underwater life. Oxygen is necessary for underwater life, and in particular, for the fish that feed us. As well as underlining the urgent need to drastically limit CO2 emissions and nutrient pollution in order to counteract deoxygenation, Lhyfe, Flexens and the University of Stockholm stress the importance of exploring, in parallel, the possibility of restoring it. Among the possible solutions, the reinjection of oxygen into these deoxygenated dead sea regions is now being studied. This project, aiming to reoxygenate the oceans by producing hydrogen at sea, is ambitious. It aims to take advantage of the future offshore hydrogen production sites built by Lhyfe in conjunction with offshore wind farms to provide a service to the environment. Lhyfe is building sites both on land and at sea, such as the HOPE project scheduled for 2026. When hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water, the water molecule is split in to hydrogen and oxygen. The manufacturer proposes to make this oxygen available to the ocean. Work on reoxygenation must be carried out using a scrupulously strategic and scientific methodology, and over a long period of time, at the risk of further destabilising ecosystems, which is why the BOxHy project has been carried out by a consortium originating from industry and science in a collaborative manner. A methodology to define the contours of an oxygen injection pilot project The report published by Flexens, Lhyfe and Stockholm University details the results of the BOxHy project, which involved assessing the feasibility of injecting oxygen to combat hypoxia and anoxia in the Baltic Sea, evaluating suitable coastal locations for setting up the small scale pilot project, and defining in what quantities, at which depth, how to proceed, and so on. Thanks to a detailed survey, 19 coastal sites in the Baltic Sea were studied and 3 were identified as potentially suitable for a pure oxygen injection pilot project. Around ten criteria were taken into account in selecting these sites: the presence of anoxia, a pre-existing observation programme, the possibility of installing the pilot infrastructure, an existing high-resolution bathymetry (measurement of marine depths), the assessment of the local socio-economic situation, applicable regulations, human presen...

Pete Russell was running a 12m dollar-a-year food company when, suddenly, he had a “road to Damascus” moment.  Pete realised that he was a part of a broken food system that was loaded against small food producers, and he knew that he wanted to be part of the solution rather than the problem. So he launched Ooooby, a platform that connects small food producers directly with consumers, making it easier for people to access locally-grown produce while supporting sustainable farming practices. In this episode of Food Matters, Pete shares the story of leaving the world of mass food production to level the playing field for small scale family farms and artisan food producers.They also talk about: ·       How Pete built a $12m dollar-per-year business in Australia and what it taught him about the global food system.·       The process of change – what drove him to leave it all behind and focus on a system build on fairness and food sustainability. ·       His first encounter with the iphone and why he knew it was to change how we shop forever.·       Why understanding that price and convenience are what people want is key to really changing the food system.·       The highs and lows of building Ooooby, and what the future holds. GIY are proud to align our mission, vision and impact with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

When we work with, rather than against nature, great things can happen: soil is healthier, biodiversity richer, and crop yields higher. Perrine Hervé-Gruyer learned this first-hand when she and her husband created The Bec Hellouin farm in Normandy, France in 2006. Determined to work in harmony with nature, and with no previous farming experience, they gave up their successful careers to build a market garden based on the principles of permaculture. And the results have been ground-breaking.In this episode of Food Matters, Perrine joins host Mick Kelly of GIY to talk about this fascinating 20-yr journey of creating one of Europe's most renowned market gardens, how she overcame some of the unique challenges that she faced along the way, and how we can all work a little more closely with nature when it comes to our own growing practices. They also discuss:·      The sceptical reception they received from their new neighbours due to their unorthodox farming practices, and what happened next. ·      Some of the practical ways in which they created a more harmonious relationship with nature. ·      How their by-hand approach achieves yields of up to ten times those of mechanised farming. ·      The critical role that animals have played in the success of The Bec Hellouin farm.·      Why she believes permaculture is the key to true food sustainability GIY are proud to align our mission, vision and impact with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Last week, I had the privilege to talk with Dr. Kristen R. Ghodsee about her most recent book Second World, Second Sex: Socialist Women's Activism and Global Solidarity during the Cold War (Duke University Press, 2019) and the behind-the-scene details of its making. Ghodsee is a professor in Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and an author of nine books and many more articles and essays. Second World, Second Sex addresses a telling gap in the historiography of women rights movements – the contributions of the Second World women rights activists. While careful not to idealize the socialist authoritarian regimes, Ghodsee reveals how deeply problematic and unfair it is to define feminism based on Western-inspired definitions of self-fulfillment or grassroot activism and to dismiss the achievements of women's state organizations in the Eastern bloc as top-down policies and socialist propaganda. Aiming to retell the UN Decade for Women from a non-Western perspective, this book follows the participation of the Bulgarian and Zambian delegations in the international conferences in Mexico City (1975), Copenhagen (1980) and Nairobi (1985). The author makes use of a painstaking multi-site archival research and compassionate oral histories, to reconstruct the conferences and their context of arduous preparations and ideological tensions. The book's approach to the conferences is very factual but also offers a lot of context, which helps the reader to better understand the main points of conflict between the Western delegates and the delegates from the developing and non-aligning countries. Ironically, what was rebranded in the 1990's as “intersectionality” was the main argument of the state socialist women activists much earlier, namely, that the discussions of women's rights separately from other social injustices such as racism, imperialism and colonialism are ultimately futile. Curiously enough, Ghodsee's comparative overview of the state of women's rights before the UN Decade reveals that socialist states were forerunners of women's rights with generous maternal leaves and state-run childcare among others. Moreover, the author reminds us, that the US government's attention to women's issues in the 1960s was actually a direct response to the threat coming from the USSR where women's brains and forces were put into service of the rivalry with the West. Thus, in the aftermath of the end of the Cold War, Ghodsee sees the current political and cultural hegemony of the West as rather disadvantageous in terms women's rights. There is no rivalry to push governments to do better and women remaining in the periphery hardly benefit from having equal access to the free market in their crime-ridden and economically dependent from the West countries with dismantled welfare systems.

Aiming to retell the UN Decade for Women from a non-Western perspective, this book follows the participation of the Bulgarian and Zambian delegations in the international conferences in Mexico City (1975), Copenhagen (1980) and Nairobi (1985). The author makes use of a painstaking multi-site archival research and compassionate oral histories, to reconstruct the conferences and their context of arduous preparations and ideological tensions. The book's approach to the conferences is very factual but also offers a lot of context, which helps the reader to better understand the main points of conflict between the Western delegates and the delegates from the developing and non-aligning countries. Ironically, what was rebranded in the 1990's as “intersectionality” was the main argument of the state socialist women activists much earlier, namely, that the discussions of women's rights separately from other social injustices such as racism, imperialism and colonialism are ultimately futile. Curiously enough, Ghodsee's comparative overview of the state of women's rights before the UN Decade reveals that socialist states were forerunners of women's rights with generous maternal leaves and state-run childcare among others. Moreover, the author reminds us, that the US government's attention to women's issues in the 1960s was actually a direct response to the threat coming from the USSR where women's brains and forces were put into service of the rivalry with the West. Thus, in the aftermath of the end of the Cold War, Ghodsee sees the current political and cultural hegemony of the West as rather disadvantageous in terms women's rights. There is no rivalry to push governments to do better and women remaining in the periphery hardly benefit from having equal access to the free market in their crime-ridden and economically dependent from the West countries with dismantled welfare systems.

Sally Barnes is both a force of nature and a champion for it.  One of Ireland's most iconic artisan food producers, Sally runs the last smokehouse in Ireland that deals exclusively with Ireland's diminishing stock of wild fish. Sally started out by smoking fish in a tea chest in the early 1980s as a way of preserving unexpected gluts, and in the years that followed she has taught herself the techniques of the trade through trial and error and lots of experimentation. Today, Sally is renowned for her top quality, award-winning produce and passion for nature and food sustainability. In conversation with Mick Kelly of GIY, Sally talks about: ·      Moving to a small fishing community in Cork in the 1970s and teaching herself how to smoke fish·      Her concern about what is happening to our stocks of wild salmon and why that is important on a wider, global food scale ·      Why she is vehemently opposed to salmon farming ·      The importance of educating a new generation of food students.·      Why she avoids shopping in the big retailers and supports independent food stores. GIY are proud to align our mission, vision and impact with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In response to the urgency of the climate crisis, and in line with the UN Decade of Action, our ambition at GIY is to inspire 100 million people around the world to grow some of their own food by 2030.Join the GIY movement by following our social channels and signing up to our newsletter on GIY.ie

They say that size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it that counts. And when it comes to growing our own food, that's certainly the case. Renowned gardener Huw Richards and highly accomplished chef Sam Cooper have spent the last two years working out how we can all grow as much fruit and veg as we can eat, on just a small plot of land. They share this perfect growing formula, along with practical tips, recipes and month by month growing plans in their new book, The Self-Sufficiency Garden: Feed Your Family and Save Money. In conversation with GIY Founder Mick Kelly, Huw and Sam describe their two-year food production journey, what they have learned about growing copious amounts of food in small spaces, and what this means for nutrition and food sustainability.They also talk about:    ·      Working smart – Growing your ‘five-a-day' with just four hours of work per week in the garden.·      The importance of soil health and organic matter in creating a resilient garden, especially in the face of climate change. ·      The culinary benefits, superior taste and nutritional value of homegrown produce compared to store-bought vegetables. ·      The interconnectedness of growing food and cooking it, and their experiences growing new and interesting crops with varying flavour profiles. ·      Food security and the environmental impact of urban agriculture and why, with thoughtful planning and sustainable practices, anyone can contribute to a more resilient and nutritious food system.GIY are proud to align our mission, vision and impact with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

There is another acoustic environment, another sort of sonic fingerprint, and it is always changing. Every day is a sort of a different sound picture.

Although they comprise less than 5% of the world population, Indigenous peoples protect 80% of the Earth's biodiversity. How can we support farmers, reverse biodiversity loss, and restore our ecosystems?Thomas Crowther is an ecologist studying the connections between biodiversity and climate change. He is a professor in the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zurich, chair of the advisory council for the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and founder of Restor, an online platform for the global restoration movement, which was a finalist for the Royal Foundation's Earthshot Prize. In 2021, the World Economic Forum named him a Young Global Leader for his work on the protection and restoration of biodiversity. Crowther's post-doctoral research transformed the understanding of the world's tree cover, and the study also inspired the World Economic Forum to announce its Trillion Trees initiative, which aims to conserve and restore one trillion trees globally within the decade.“We're just a moving ecosystem and we've got this weird thing called consciousness that gives us this impression that we're somehow separate, but we are just part of the ecosystem. We're a bag of microbes that's interacting with all the microbes around us. And I think there's a real need for us to appreciate our harmony with nature and our interrelatedness with nature.”https://crowtherlab.com/about-tom-crowther https://restor.eco/?lat=26&lng=14.23&zoom=3www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

Restor is a digital platform, sort of like Google Maps, but for restoration. So rather than seeing coffee shops and supermarkets, you will see conservation projects and Indigenous-led restoration initiatives. And that means you can find a currently on Restor - I think we have around 140, 000 - so you can go on there for free right now and find thousands and thousands of these amazing heroes of nature. And you can zoom in and you can see every single tree on the ground. You can see every bush and you can fund them or you can buy their coffee or you can go visit their projects and do ecotourism. There's a myriad of ways that we can all support their efforts by also improving our own lives. We need to be cutting our emissions so that we can allow nature to thrive and help us along the way. For far too long people have been squabbling about emissions. We should do this or we should do that. Climate change is way too big for us to be squabbling about things. We need to do everything now. When we grow the same crops every year, the soil gets more depleted and all the nutrients are lost. I've heard quotes that if we cannot find agricultural systems that rejuvenate the soil instead of depleting it, we are signing our death warrant. It's like we need to be promoting healthy soils if we're going to have any agriculture in the future."https://crowtherlab.com/about-tom-crowther https://restor.eco/?lat=26&lng=14.23&zoom=3www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

I'm dyslexic, but I managed to get into a good university in the UK, and I was messing around in a class with 300 students, and the teacher sent me out of the class. But he met me after that class, and he essentially said, ‘What are you doing? Why are you here?' And I was like, ‘I like ecology, but I just can't keep up. There's too much reading. There's too much statistics.' And he said, ‘If you like ecology, just find the bits that you like.' And I just needed to look at the fungi and find them fascinating. And then that gives you positive endorphins when you have a successful experiment. So I just immersed myself in the parts that I enjoyed and through that process, things started to go really well and my degree went really well. And then after that, my career sort of exploded. And genuinely, I know if I had not encountered that professor, there's no way my career would have gone in the direction it has done. And I just think teachers are unbelievable inspirers, not necessarily for the knowledge they give you, but more for just inspiring you to follow your own your own path, your own trajectory.”https://crowtherlab.com/about-tom-crowther https://restor.eco/?lat=26&lng=14.23&zoom=3www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast
