About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sarah Peterson, an expert in sustainable agriculture and the lead instructor for the Certified Specialist Programme in Biologically Inspired Food Production. Sarah, welcome! GUEST: Thanks for having me, excited to be here! HOST: So Sarah, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to teach this unique course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've always been fascinated by nature and its incredible ability to sustain life. This passion led me to explore how we can apply these biological principles to food production, creating a more sustainable future. HOST: That's inspiring. Now, what current trends are you seeing in the industry that make this course so relevant? GUEST: There's a growing demand for eco-friendly practices in agriculture, and people are recognizing the importance of working with nature rather than against it. Our course equips learners with the skills to meet this demand and drive innovation in food production. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what obstacles have you encountered in this field or when teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is overcoming the perception that conventional agriculture is the only viable solution. Convincing people to consider alternative methods requires solid evidence and real-world examples, which we provide in our course. HOST: Great point. Lastly, where do you see the future of biologically inspired food production heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see increased adoption of these practices as the world grapples with climate change and population growth. Our course prepares students to be at the forefront of this transformation, creating a healthier planet for all.
