Check out this great new episode with Salt Lake's Kelli Christine Case!!!

Episode 18:
Kelli Case is a Salt Lake City-based community organizer, farmer, and permaculture designer. She works at the Krishna Food Forest and Farm to coordinate a vegetable and fruit CSA. Kelli is a fierce advocate for harmonious interconnection and non-violent communication.

In this episode we delve into Kelli’s practices and interests surrounding the garden, the community, and the planet. Since the Krishna Farm is completely veganic, her farming practices look and feel different than other farms. She explores the dynamic of incorporating community into all aspects of the garden. She nurtures interspecies life and cultivates ever more mindful ways of relating to her environment. Kelli has developed a ritual of honoring and processing grief. Whether it is due to climate change and the exploitation of the earth, societal degradation, or personal loss, she believes we all have something to grieve and holding space for that is essential.

“Socializing is a non-negotiable human need. We cannot go it alone. We need each other. We are dependent on one another for survival, short of our breath.
Prolonged physical distancing is only sustainable if the realities of these needs are factored into the equation. Our need for human contact and socialization must be included as a crucial part of the conversation if we’re going to keep this up — and not because anyone is selfish or lazy, but because we’re human and by nature, in need of mercy."

GO Biochar with John Webster

Go Biochar with John Webster

Motivated by the 2019 youth climate strikes, John founded GO Biochar to influence Utah’s charge to regenerative resilience through biochar. Biochar is the ancient practice of converting waste into a semi-permanent soil enhancer that holds carbon, boosts food security, increases soil biodiversity, and prevents desertification of Utah soils.

John and the GO Biochar team are actively working with Utah farmers, municipalities, organizations, lawmakers, and individuals focusing on soil health and regenerative waste management through the use of biochar. Seeking to improve crop yields, add environmental resilience, and constantly promote carbon sequestration strategies, GO Biochar strives to completes carbon cascades by turning organic waste streams into biochar. The regenerative practice of making products from locally available organic matter lowers the embodied carbon footprint, and local biochar is a key component in environmental resilience.

John is a participating member of the International Biochar Initiative. Since completing the Biochar Training for Environmental Sustainability and Economic Development certification, John has been on the Advisory Board for the [Park City Thriving Earth Exchange Project | https://thrivingearthexchange.org/project/parkcity-ut/], where he evaluates the effectiveness of biochar for carbon sequestration, soil productivity, water retention, and wildfire risk reduction.
