In this episode of Happified, host Susi Vine sits down with earth-loving activist, author, and award-winning filmmaker Louis de Jaeger, whose new book ‘SOS: Save Our Soils’ dives deep into the critical connection between healthy soil and healthy lives. Drawing on his insights from his travels across the US and Europe and landscape architecture work worldwide, Louis explains how regenerative agriculture isn’t just better for the planet—it’s essential for our food, health, and freedom.
Louis and Susi discuss why many of us are disconnected from our food’s origins, the surprising benefits of eating more perennial crops, and the profound impact of industrial farming on our health and communities. They break down myths about organic versus conventional foods, the pitfalls of "cheap" and subsidized farming, and the power of putting the health of our soil—and ourselves—first.
