Welcome to Flourishing within Planetary Boundaries hosted by Dr. Tara Naylor. This is the show where we embrace the real physical limits that exist on this planet, and learn how to work with them, to create thriving and flourishing people, communities, and ecosystems. All too often when it comes to planetary health, we talk in symptoms for example climate change is a symptom as is biodiversity loss and deforestation. For me they are symptoms that our key human systems and aspirations are not designed for a living finite planet. I have found in my life and work, that some of the most creative and ingenious solutions, come about because, there are real physical limits and constraints. To solve our problems, we are forced to think and act differently, and that can be a very powerful place to work from. So where do we start? We start with a powerful vision of the lives and future we want. Then we work with the fundamentals, our relationships with both food and energy. After all, food is the basis of our lives, our health, our relationships with each other, and with life on Earth, and every single one of us plays a role in food and energy systems every day.
