In this inspiring episode of Unstress with Dr. Ron Ehrlich, I speak with Sam Betteridge, an educator and urban agriculture advocate, to celebrate Urban Agriculture Month. Together, we explore the transformative power of growing food in our cities and reconnecting with nature.

Sam shares his journey from teaching in schools to managing education at Pocket City Farms, one of Sydney’s leading urban farms. He discusses the challenges and rewards of turning underutilized urban spaces into thriving hubs of regenerative agriculture, community connection, and sustainability.

We delve into the innovative practices of permaculture, the importance of diversity in gardens and ecosystems, and the role of wicking systems in conserving water while growing nutritious food. Whether you have a small backyard, a balcony, or just a windowsill, this episode is packed with actionable tips for bringing urban agriculture into your life.

Tune in to learn how growing food can regenerate land, build community, and improve the health of both people and the planet.
