Farmers are our health system with Phyllis Tichinin

The Quorum Sense Podcast

Growing up in California, Phyllis Tichinin witnessed the abundance of local fruit orchards and their deep, rich soils begin to be concreted into what is now Silicon Valley.

After meeting her Kiwi husband, Phyllis now resides in Hawke’s Bay and is well-known as an eco-nutritionist with a passion for regenerative farming practices that produce nutrient dense food.

“If we get agriculture right, we get everything else right”.

This is a conversation that you’ll find you can’t draw yourself away from as Phyllis stoutly highlights the links and parallels between human health and the health of our food systems.

Enjoy the episode.

“I am optimistic and I am humbled by what many farmers are willing to take on [despite] social pushback from neighbours and family…

“…the risk that’s involved when you’re not doing the normal thing…so you can’t blame the weather or make excuses…and you become more responsible for your own results.”
