While forests have often been viewed as inert resources, Suzanne Simard’s revolutionary research is transforming forest ecology. A Professor of Forestry at the University of British Columbia, Simard’s groundbreaking work reveals the complex, interconnected nature of forests, particularly the below-ground fungal networks that facilitate interplant communication. Her findings echo the wisdom of First Peoples, offering a new paradigm for sustainable living on Earth.

Geologist David Montgomery and biologist Anne Biklé, authors of the influential "Dirt Trilogy" (Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations; The Hidden Half of Nature; and Growing A Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life), preview their forthcoming book, "You Are What Your Food Ate." They present scientific evidence demonstrating how soil health profoundly impacts the health of crops, animals, and ultimately humans. Their work highlights the critical link between soil life and food's nutritional quality, emphasizing that regenerative farming practices benefit both the land and human health.

This talk was delivered at the 2021 Bioneers Conference.
