Regenerating Nature with Wildfarmed

Season 4 · Episode 3

Thursday, May 23, 2024 • Duration 24:22

A Moment of Change is a podcast created by On Purpose London Associates, participants of On Purpose’s Associate Programme.

For Series 4, the team is looking at an area they’re really passionate about: the circular economy. They’ll be talking to inspiring people and organisations, who share with us ‘Stories of Hope’; stories of their work in the circular economy and the incredible impact they have on our world.

Our current food system is the leading cause of soil degradation, water pollution, deforestation and loss of wildlife. In episode 3 of the podcast, Amy and Will speak to Harriet Cherry, Agriculture Relationship Manager at Wildfarmed, a regenerative food brand on a mission to change farming, transform landscapes and regenerate nature.

In this episode we discuss how farming can restore nature’s ecosystems instead of merely extracting from it. How instead of degrading nature, agricultural practices can build natural capital and shift our farming focus from yields to a more holistic view of improving biodiversity. And critically we learn more about why we need to address this now.

Despite the challenges faced in our agricultural and food systems, Harriet leaves us feeling hopeful about the growing regenerative movement that Wildfarmed is part of. She also remind us of the agency that we all have as individuals to create change through our food choices.

For more information about Wildfarmed and the work they do to transform landscapes through regenerative agriculture, visit their website.

Circulating Products & Materials with United Repair Centre

Season 4 · Episode 2

Thursday, May 9, 2024 • Duration 32:16

A Moment of Change is a podcast created by On Purpose London Associates, participants of On Purpose’s Associate Programme.

In this episode, Miranda and Kate are joined by Thami Schweichler, CEO of United Repair Centre (URC). URC are paving the way to transform the clothing industry by putting people first, one repair at a time. They enable clothing brands to make real social and environmental impact with a digital, one-stop shop for circular solutions.

This discussion explores the current human cost of our throwaway mindset to clothing. We all want to do our best to consume more responsibly, and this conversation highlights the importance of a mindset and behaviour shift towards thinking of clothing as a long-term investment, which can be repaired repeatedly and kept in circulation for as long as possible. We also discuss URC's business model and how technology has the potential to act as a catalyst for wide-scale adoption of circular thinking in business.

Thami leaves us feeling hopeful about the future of the circular economy, noting increasing collaboration over competition among brands. Plus, he shares practical tips for integrating circular thinking into your daily life.

For more information about URC and the work they do to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, visit their website.

Season 2 · Episode 2.1

Thursday, October 21, 2021 • Duration 38:28

What exactly is a green job and why do we need a just transition?

Green jobs should be an answer to address both the urgent economic and environmental needs for society, but what exactly are they? And how do we ensure that in the transition to a new green economy that no one is left behind?

This week on the A Moment of Change podcast we’re joined by Denis Fernando, a climate campaigner from Friends of the Earth and Gerry Grattan, a fellow of the On Purpose London programme to discuss green jobs, a just transition, and more personal transitions into the environmental and impact sector.

In this episode with Denis we discuss insights from Friends of the Earth’s report An Emergency Plan on Green Jobs for Young People, building the case for green job creation particularly for young people, and the role that the state, business and individuals can play to achieve this.

Season 2 · Episode 1

Thursday, October 14, 2021 • Duration 31:01

Food affects all areas of life - it drives our bodies, our communities and our politics. The food system is complex, nuanced and powerful, but in this changing environment it can be difficult for us to understand how to move towards a truly sustainable system.

In this episode, we speak to India Langley, Head of Communications at LettUsGrow to consider what a sustainable and healthy diet actually looks like, and what we can do to actually get there, both as individuals and as a society?

Social Inequalities and our Environment: Changing Attitudes to Food

Season 1 · Episode 5

Thursday, November 12, 2020 • Duration 33:33

The COVID crisis has further exposed social inequalities and environmental concerns. It has highlighted the demand on food banks, the reliance of many families on school meals and the fragility of our food systems. On the flip side, more people are talking about climate change, food waste and the benefits of growing food at home. In this episode we talk to Carly Trisk-Grove: restaurateur, B Leader and co-creator of a new restaurant concept focused on serving tasty, nourishing food at an accessible price and inspiring a generation of change-makers to level-up their own communities.

Social Determinants of Health: Health inequality in the time of COVID-19

Season 1 · Episode 4

Thursday, November 5, 2020 • Duration 47:43

Since The Marmot Review in 2010, it has been widely accepted that variance in social factors (education, housing, employment and discrimination) lead to variance in health outcomes. A recent review has shown that improvements in life expectancy have been flatlining in the UK during a period of austerity - for the first time since 1900. In this episode we discuss with the leader of a community health organisation his journey in supporting the Caribbean and African community in Manchester and how his work has been impacted by COVID-19.

Our guest speaker is Rev Charles Kwaku-Odoi. Alongside his role as Chief Officer for CAHN, Charles co-leads Command Prayer Centre Ministries International and co-chairs Faith Network for Manchester. He specialises in engaging with the Black community in the Diaspora, and also works closely with Terrence Higgins Trust in their delivery of HIV Prevention England.

Consumerism: Has COVID-19 changed our spending habits for the better?

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, October 29, 2020 • Duration 49:23

Social isolation has given us reason to reflect and reevaluate many things – not least our consumer habits, and the impact our purchases have on the planet and on humanity. During this episode we’ll be speaking to three guests leading the charge on sustainable living to understand more about the impact of COVID-19 on our spending habits, both good and bad, and more crucially whether we expect these changes to continue into the future.

Our speakers are Natasha Parker, Head of Compassion Not Consumerism at Global Action Plan, Jarvis Smith co-founder of My Green Pod and Sarah Divall, a creative partner at the environmental charity Hubbub.

Mutual aid: Helping each other through COVID-19

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, October 15, 2020 • Duration 53:04

With the outbreak of COVID-19, we’ve seen the genesis of a new wave of informal mutual aid groups across the country, pooling volunteers and resources within local communities to help one another through a time of crisis. Could the global pandemic be a turning point in our connectedness to our communities, and to our neighbours in need?

"For a while, people stopped fighting about the normal things they fight about, and just had to get on with it."

In this episode we speak to Cathy Wang, Lily McConnell, and Blake Murphy, three London residents who became organisers of mutual aid in their communities. They tell us why they got involved, their successes and challenges, stories from their local areas, and what makes them hopeful for the future.
