This is Charlie's second interview with Dr Zach Bush, captured 2 days before the groundbreaking Farmers Footprint Australia ReConnecton 2023: Co-creating Australia's Regeneration conference in November 2023.

The 12 months that had passed between interviews had yielded some amazing experiences for Zach, having dived even deeper into his quest to reconnect mankind to Mother Nature, through food, farming, and spiritual engagement. Charlie is always honoured to sit with such a prolific thinker and one who is clearly a conduit between 'The Source' and our species.

Chilli represents the new generation of farmers, choosing a path dedicated to clean, nutritious food production and education at just 19 years old. Recognising that traditional schooling wouldn't provide the foundational knowledge she sought, Chilli, with her parents’ support, opted for distance education, using their backyard garden as her classroom. Her profound love for nature and a family health challenge deepened her commitment to self-sufficiency, propelling her on the next chapter of her regenerative journey—a new life in Tasmania.

Peter's remarkable work extends beyond creating environmentally focused documentaries; he is also dedicated to showcasing solutions to global environmental changes. Peter is known for his ability to objectively compare and contrast the farming practices of conventional and regenerative farmers across the United States. During the interview, Charlie was particularly struck by Peter's approach: he begins with the similarities and common ground, fostering curiosity among the farmers featured in his latest documentary. "Roots So Deep" offers a game-changing perspective on the state of farming, presenting views from both sides of the fence.
