Once it was mushrooms attracting all the attention. They still are but the growing interest in mycelium and the notion of subterranean networks of fungi is changing not only how we understand fungi and forests, but life. Fungi provide a fundamental foundation to the forest and are a key to understanding how forests work.

In this Pip Podcast, we chat to Alison about the diverse world of fungi and its importance in our ecological networks. And explore how fungi can be used in many different and diverse ways – from foraging and consuming fungi to making clothing and packaging products to medicinal uses.

Pip Podcast #41 Alison Pouliot: The Wonderful World of Funghi

<description>As overconsumption continues to drive the climate crisis, Tasmanian building designer, Jane Hilliard, is quietly trumpeting the idea that less is actually more.

Jane Hilliard is on a mission to claw back the overconsumption rampant in the building industry. Swimming against the metaphorical tide that promotes ever-expanding McMansion-style developments, Jane champions the concept of ‘enoughness’ in her professional life and in her everyday life, too. 

In Jane’s own words, enoughness is about “working out what you need to be happy and healthy, without taking more than your fair share.” And when our homes are created with this in mind, the positive impacts radiate.</description>

<description>Robyn Rosenfeldt speaks with Helena Norberg-Hodge about the localisation movement, and why we need to be creating stronger local food systems and stronger connections within our community.

Author and film maker, Helena Norberg-Hodge is the founder and director of the international non-profit organisation, Local Futures, a pioneer of the new economy movement, and the convenor of World Localisation Day.

Over the past few years, we have been experiencing increasing problems with our country’s supply chains that are leaving us with empty supermarket shelves and issues accessing fresh produce and other supplies.

To combat this, we need to be creating stronger local food economies, where the food we eat is grown within our local communities and not shipped in from across the globe.

How is it that food shipped from the other side of the planet is cheaper than the food grown locally? And why is food grown in one country shipped across the world to be processed, only to be returned and sold back to that country again?

It comes down to global supply chains and trade agreements that favour big business and industrialised agriculture, which make it almost impossible to survive as a small grower.

Creating local food economies increases not only our local food security but also our happiness, as it is connection and community that humans crave.

Norberg-Hodge shares her knowledge and experience of creating local food economies across the globe and ideas about how we can do the same.
