#51: Food Security Starts at Home: Learn to Grow, Eat Better & Live Sustainably | Nicholas Pratt (Barefoot)

How secure is the food on our plates? How much do you really know about where your food comes from—and what if building a healthier, more sustainable future could start right in your own backyard? Nicholas Barefoot explores local food security, regenerative agriculture and shorter supply chains, showing how reconnecting with where our food comes from can strengthen communities, support our health and reduce our environmental impact. From permaculture and agroforestry to backyard gardens and local farmers’ markets, this conversation challenges us to think differently about the food we eat every day. We also explore the hidden costs of global food supply chains, declining nutrient content, and the simple things we can all do to make a difference. Most importantly, this is an episode about hope and practical action. You don’t need a farm or a huge backyard to get started. Whether it’s growing herbs on a small verandah, planting a few vegetables, eating with the seasons or supporting local farmers, Nicholas shares achievable ideas to help us learn new skills, eat better and build a healthier, more resilient future.
