Ashish Kothari draws on his experience in the areas of wildlife and biodiversity to explore the profound consequences of human disconnection from nature. From bonding with a baby monkey in Kerala to discussing the impact of farmer protests in North India, we navigate through the interconnected realms of psychology, economics, and ecology. The conversation delves into personal anecdotes, societal implications, and potential alternatives to our modern, urbanised lifestyles and looks at various transformations taking place on the ground. Learn about the "flower of transformation" and how its five petals – politics, economics, society, culture and knowledge, and environment and ecology – intertwine to shape a holistic perspective for a better world. Ashish goes into detail with an inspiring example of 5,000 marginalised Dalit women farmers in India who successfully transitioned to sustainable, collective farming practices and movements advocating for food sovereignty, such as the recent farmer protests in North India against laws promoting commercialisation.
