Healing A Planet in Crisis: Tony Rinaudo

Have you ever wanted to give up? Do you have moments of such strong doubt that you begin to wonder if things will ever actually get better? Tony Rinaudo, our guest today, has been there too. And gotten to the other side. After years of failed attempts to help transform the barren landscapes of west Africa into fertile ground, Tony had an aha moment that not only changed his life but the lives of millions of farmers, animals, and plants throughout Africa. The method that Tony has developed, FMNR (Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration), is re-greening Africa, shrinking the Sahara Desert, bringing food security and financial freedom to millions of farmers and their families, and healing the Earth in the process. Tony teaches us that seeking to live a life of purpose combined with not giving up can lead to miraculous change.

Build a relationship with living things in the way that Tony did. Raising plants requires patience and faith. With persistence we can often raise something beautiful that we have nurtured. Connect with Nature and the miracle how these tiny seeds can grow into fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers if they have the right conditions and care. Our ideas for a better world can take root with patience and persistence in the same way. TAKEAWAYS: 1: Moments of doubt and difficulty are always part of the story, but there is also always hope. 2: Sometimes the solutions we’re seeking are right in front of us if we can just open our eyes. 3: One person can change the world.Visit www.wecanremaketheworld.com for more info and resources.
