Beyond Scale: Native Grains and Indigenous-Led Food Systems with Jacob Birch

About this episode

Jacob Birch discusses designing food systems based on Indigenous principles and his work in the native grains industry.

This episode asks what it would look like to design food systems led by Indigenous principles, rather than asking First Nations people to adapt to existing models. Jacob Birch shares his work reawakening Australia’s native grains industry and explains how Indigenous-led approaches can support biodiversity, food sovereignty, and self-determined economic development.
