Extractive farming practices have driven a planetary emergency, depleting nature and impacting climate, biodiversity, and public health. With agriculture using half our land, farmers are crucial stewards. We must redesign systems from extraction to regeneration and sustainability.

In this talk, Henry Dimbleby, lead non-executive director for DEFRA and architect of the National Food Strategy, addresses the complexity of food systems and the urgent need for a common language to measure farming sustainability.

Henry co-founded Leon Restaurants, the Sustainable Restaurant Association, and Chefs in Schools, bringing extensive expertise to this TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Mah Pe Ya Mini (Henry Skywater), a respected Dakota Elder, Knowledge Keeper, and ceremonial leader, often shared his "Spirit of Life" song. He connected it to the Dakota creation story: a blue light journeys from a heavenly house to a mother's womb, lives on Earth, and then returns to its celestial origin.

The song's essence, "Lightning beings! It's me! There is a house in the heavens where I was born," reflects this journey. Shared with his family's permission to continue his legacy, this video is posted on behalf of the Turtle Lodge, where Henry was an Elder, and Elders Circle Seven, who honored him with the Mikinak-Keya Spirit Tour.
