Circular Metabolism Podcast

🌳 What if our agricultural system, which currently focuses on annual crops, functioned like a perennial forest? Today I am extremely happy to talk about a concept that integrates the care of our planet, the care of people and a just and fair share for all humans and non humans. This concept rethinks our land use and agricultural system based on ecological principles in a world with little to no fossil fuels. This concept is of course Permaculture.👨‍🌾 To explore this concept I have the great pleasure to welcome none other than its co-founder David Holmgren. David is an environmental designer, activist, futurist and author.🎤 In this episode we discuss about :1️⃣ What is permaculture ?2️⃣ How it was applied in different places?3️⃣ What does a permaculture lifestyle look like?4️⃣ How to apply permaculture principles in territories?5️⃣ Books and film recommendationsChapters0:00 Introduction1:13 Start of the episode1:40 What was it like to live in the 70s 7:30 Why were you interested in environmental design14:45 Why permaculture is so popular today?17:55 Why look at the intersection of ecology/landscape design and agriculture?20:42 Why agriculture is annual and forests perennial?28:00 Why the separation of agriculture and settlements the reason of our ecological crisis?37:30 The futurist hat of David Holmgren42:13 The 12 permaculture principles50:00 Permaculture in practice57:20 The case of Meliodora1:07:00 What does a permaculture life look like ?1:15:52 How do we scale up permaculture ?1:25:22 How do we welcome people in permaculture ?1:34:35 What is one piece of advice you would like to give ?1:37:00 Books and films recommendations ?🙏 Support this podcast by subscribing to our Newsletter:💌 www.circularmetabolism.com 💌👀 Youtube:👂 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/circular-metabolism-podcast/id1455115320👂 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/circular-metabolism-podcast👂 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qH9Oj4b0yF0dBidGAdFR👂 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwMWMyYzNlODg4NzQ3NjIyYmY5MzRlNg#permaculture #energydescent #agriculture #davidholmgren #podcast

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,  Comme c’est les vacances la cadence des podcasts baisse un peu mais ne vous inquiétez pas, le programme de la rentrée se finalise et je vous réserve quelques bons épisodes. D’ici là, je vous propose un épisode passionnant du podcast « Echanges Climatiques » que vous pouvez retrouvez sur les plateformes d’écoutes et sur Youtube. Sur cet épisode vous pouvez écouter Valérie Masson-Delmotte sur le sujet des canicules, sécheresses et inondation estivales. Profitez bien de cet épisode et allez faire un coucou à Florian d’Echanges Climatiques.  A très bientôt

💰 Aujourd’hui nous allons parler des échecs du système économique actuel qui est le capitalisme pour la majorité des sociétés du monde, sous formes d’inégalités grandissantes, une dégradation sévère environnemental et une érosion de la cohésion sociale. Et si il existait une alternative plus désirable mais qui reste viable et faisable ? Un système économique alternatif qui favorise le bien-être et la restauration des écosystèmes ?🎓 Pour nous éclairer sur ce système économique alternatif, j’ai le plaisir d'accueillir Thomas Bauwens. Thomas est professeur à la Rotterdam School of Management (RSM) de l’université Erasme. Ses recherches portent sur les conditions propices à la création de solutions collectives aux grands défis sociaux, économiques ou environnementaux de notre temps. Il a récemment reçu une subvention du Conseil européen de la recherche pour un projet de recherche de cinq ans intitulé "SCENSUS" ("Scaling the Societal Impact of Community Enterprises for Sustainability").🙏 Soutenez ce podcast en vous abonnant à notre Newsletter: 💌 www.circularmetabolism.com 💌 👀 Youtube: https://youtu.be/eTQ1Iztfkb0👂 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/circular-metabolism-podcast/id1455115320👂 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/circular-metabolism-podcast👂 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qH9Oj4b0yF0dBidGAdFR👂 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwMWMyYzNlODg4NzQ3NjIyYmY5MzRlNg#capitalisme #PIB #coopérative #énergie

🍩 Numerous scholars propose post-growth or doughnut economics as a vision for a desirable, just and ecologically restorative future. Nevertheless, it is sometimes unclear, how to make this desirable future a reality.🔍 To explore how to develop a Post-Growth Deal, I invited not one but 3 fantastic guests on the Circular Metabolism Podcast : Julia Steinberger professor of Ecological Economics at Université de Lausanne, Giorgos Kallis professor of Ecological Economics and Political Ecology at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona and finally Jason Hickel Professor at the Social and Cultural Anthropology Department at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.🏆 Together, they were awarded a European Research Council (ERC) project entitled a “Post-Growth Deal” trying to answer this essential question : “how can dramatic reductions in energy and resource use be achieved, while at the same time ending poverty and ensuring decent lives for all” ?🎤 In this episode we discuss about :1️⃣ What lead them focus on Post-Growth ?2️⃣ How and why they developed this project ?3️⃣ What are the 5 pillars of post-growth they will focus on (1/ Planetary space of Possibilities, 2/ Post-growth Policy Packages, 3/ Provisioning Systems, 4/Political Movements, 5/Practical Implementation through Participation).4️⃣ What would Post-Growth territories look like ?5️⃣ Books and audio recommendations ?🙏 Support this podcast by subscribing to our Newsletter:💌 www.circularmetabolism.com 💌👀 Youtube: https://youtu.be/umg2pGadrc8👂 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/circular-metabolism-podcast/id1455115320👂 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/circular-metabolism-podcast👂 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qH9Oj4b0yF0dBidGAdFR👂 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwMWMyYzNlODg4NzQ3NjIyYmY5MzRlNg#degrowth #postgrowth #ecologicalcrisis #research #podcast

🌃 What is the relationship between cities and economic growth ? During the last 50 years cities were both the driver of and driven by neoliberal economy. Building malls, tunnels, parkings, flashy condominiums and other expensive landmarks have created a new type of urbanism which embeds financial flows in the built environment. Today, it is hard to imagine a city that does not grow both spatially and financially. This spatial specialization of cities is now stripping them from space to satisfy its own needs in terms of food, manufacturing and energy production. It is also stripping cities from the necessary labour to carry out its ecological redirection and reparation. As such, this episode will try to question how to break this reinforcing loop between cities and economic growth.🎓 To help us explore what would post-growth cities could look like and how to implement them, I have the pleasure to discuss with Federico Savini. Federico is an Associate Professor in Environmental Planning, Institutions and Politics at the University of Amsterdam. He combines approaches of political sociology, urban planning and critical geography to study the pathways towards a form of urbanization that thrives within planetary boundaries. He has and will explore the degrowth perspective on spatial planning in his European Research Council Starting Grant project and is the co-editor of the book Post-Growth Planning - Cities Beyond the Market Economy. 🙏 Support this podcast by subscribing to our Newsletter: 💌 www.circularmetabolism.com 💌 👀 Youtube: https://youtu.be/z72xXqbQlC8👂 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/circular-metabolism-podcast/id1455115320👂 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/circular-metabolism-podcast👂 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qH9Oj4b0yF0dBidGAdFR👂 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwMWMyYzNlODg4NzQ3NjIyYmY5MzRlNg#neoliberalism #urbanplanning #degrowth #circulareconomy #podcast

💎 Notre appétit pour les métaux est responsable de nombreux impacts environnementaux et sociaux. La baisse de teneur des gisements vont démultiplier ces impacts alors que notre appétit est grandissant. Du coup, est-il possible de prévoir la fin de l’exploitation minière tout en assurant la résilience de nos économies ?🎓 Pour nous éclairer sur ces questions j’ai le plaisir de discuter avec Judith Pigneur. Judith est docteure en Génie Industriel. Sa thèse a porté sur la mise au point d’une méthode intégrée d’analyse des impacts des filières de matières premières minérales. Elle est chargée de projet matériaux & sobriété au sein de l’association négaWatt et développe une feuille de route sur des trajectoires de consommation minérais métalliques plus sobres.🙏 Soutenez ce podcast en vous abonnant à notre Newsletter: 💌 www.circularmetabolism.com 💌👀 Youtube: https://youtu.be/7j8TK-iQ_FI👂 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/circular-metabolism-podcast/id1455115320👂 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/circular-metabolism-podcast👂 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qH9Oj4b0yF0dBidGAdFR👂 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwMWMyYzNlODg4NzQ3NjIyYmY5MzRlNg#extraction #pénurie #impactenvironnemental #lithium

🥕 Comment fonctionne notre système agro-alimentaire et pourquoi il est responsable du franchissement de plusieurs limites planétaires ? Sans surprises les engrais chimiques ou de synthèse sont au centre de cette problématique. Du coup, la question à mille points devient, peut-on nourrir 8 à 10 milliards de personnes sans engrais chimiques et à quoi ressemblerait ce futur système agro-alimentaire ? 🎓 Pour nous éclairer sur ces questions j’ai le plaisir de discuter avec Gilles Billen; directeur de recherche émérite au CNRS et biogéochimiste au Laboratoire des Milieux environnementaux, transferts et interactions dans les hydrosystèmes et les sols (METIS) de Sorbonne Université. Ses recherches se focalisent sur les flux d’azote dans les territoires, les transitions socio-écologiques et les systèmes agro-alimentaires.🙏 Soutenez ce podcast en vous abonnant à notre Newsletter: 💌 www.circularmetabolism.com 💌 👀 Youtube: https://youtu.be/gwI5_VCZ2HA👂 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/circular-metabolism-podcast/id1455115320👂 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/circular-metabolism-podcast👂 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qH9Oj4b0yF0dBidGAdFR👂 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwMWMyYzNlODg4NzQ3NjIyYmY5MzRlNg#agriculture #engrais #bio #CNRS

💰 Today we’ll try to unmask the true cost of cheapness in our societies. Over the last decades and even centuries, a small part of the planet has been enjoying more and more cheap stuff. From sugar, to coffee, to energy, everything seems to get produced and consumed at an ever lower price. To keep these prices low, something had to give. Nature, Care, Labour and even Lives are some of the elements Capitalism needed to make cheap in order to perpetuate itself. However, what happens when you run out of things, land and people to make cheap ?🎓To guide us through the systemic forces of this hyper-exploitation and propose a path out of it, I have immense pleasure to talk with Raj Patel. Raj is an award-winning author, film-maker and academic. He is a Research Professor in the Lyndon B Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, Austin. He is the author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System. and co-author with Jason W. Moore of the book A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things. 🙏 Enjoy this episode and before you go, please help us improve our podcast by subscribing to your favourite app including Youtube, iTunes, Spotify, or Stitcher and leave us a comment 📝 with your thoughts.👀 Youtube: https://youtu.be/iTucNdeUOLc👂 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/circular-metabolism-podcast/id1455115320👂 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/circular-metabolism-podcast👂 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qH9Oj4b0yF0dBidGAdFR👂 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwMWMyYzNlODg4NzQ3NjIyYmY5MzRlNg💌 Newsletter: www.circularmetabolism.com #cheap #exploitation #nature #colonialism #rajpatel #podcast
